I N T R O D U C T I O N
- Dr. Stephen Mulkey
President of Unity College
“Ourapproachrepresentsreal
change in higher education,
addressing education in an
expansive, comprehensive way
that is turning the outdated
lecture models that still plague
higher education upside down.”
O U R C A M P U S

Revolutionary. Unity College educates visionary
leaders, problem solvers, and stewards of the earth.
Sustainability Science. It’s about understanding
the complexity of interactions among economy,
society, and nature to develop concrete solutions
to the problems threatening the very survival
of humanity.
A New Approach
to Education
- Holli Cederholm ’07
U.S. Delegate at the Slow Food Conference, 2012 - Turin, Italy
“I came to Unity college because
I wanted to change the world.”
W E C R E A T E
T H E C U T T I N G E D G E
When it comes to creating the cutting
edge of sustainability science, that’s
what we’re about.
++ Unity College was the first in the
nation to introduce Sustainability
Science as an educational framework.
++ Unity College has signed a national
pledge to strive for a carbon
neutral campus.
++ Unity College was the first college
in America to divest from fossil
fuel investments, sparking a
national movement.
++ Unity College employs a Sustainability
Staff who work daily to minimize our
environmental impact.
U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S
B E A R S T U D Y
The Unity College Bear Study is a
perfect example of sustainability
science in action.
++ First study of its kind to directly involve
undergraduates from multiple majors
in the U.S.
++ Students handle bears, perform
DNA blood analysis, and conduct
bear collar-tracking.
++ 70 students participated in the study
the first year with high ongoing
student interest.
After the recent release of Unity
College’s One-Year Report–offering
remarkable new insights on the lives
of black bears in Maine–the study has
gained national attention.
Terrahaus is the first passive
solar residence hall anywhere
in the country.

P R O B L E M D R I V E N,
S O L U T I O N S F O C U S E D
Classrooms are great. But without meaningful
action, knowledge just kind of sits there.
Do you want to talk about ways to solve
environmental problems, or do you want to sink
your hands into a coastline habitat and find the
solution yourself?
Dirt Washes Off,
Desire Doesn’t
- Tom Frezza ’08
National Parks Service
“When people ask me where I got
my bachelor’s degree,
I am proud to say ‘Unity College.’”
P R O B L E M D R I V E N,
S O L U T I O N S F O C U S E D
++ Our students and faculty work
with cutting-edge technology
in fields, forests, lakes, rivers,
oceans, and mountains.
++ Our faculty are leading national
research efforts into things like
the effects of acid rain on lakes
throughout the Northeastern U.S.
++ Unity College alumni are recognized
as visionary leaders in everything
from climate change research,
to art, to media and marketing,
to adventure tourism.
U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S
W I N D E N E R G Y S T U D Y
Passion to solve energy issues.
The Sustainable Energy students and
faculty involved in Unity College’s Wind
Energy Study bring exactly the kind of
desire our world needs.
++ Using wind data gathered from
‘06 – ‘13 and advanced mapping,
students assess wind power for
energy solutions.
++ Students work on analysis of energy
policy, climate mitigation, and local
renewable energy planning.
++ Our students apply knowledge
from engineering, math, GIS, and
climate science.
Their findings have shed new light on the
possibilities for cost-effective mitigation
of climate pollution throughout New
England and help outside organizations
plan wind power developments.
Purposeful Action Drives Innovation
We’re about letting our passion and purpose drive
innovation. In the lab. In the field. In the world.
Because that’s what is takes when it comes to
solving the earth’s environmental issues. Action.

T R A N S D I S C I P L I N A R Y
S T U D Y
We solve problems together. Our individual
programs are great, but the real magic happens
when you pull them all together to solve a
real-world problem no one else could crack.
That’s what we do at Unity College.
Shattering Barriers,
Creating Real Solutions
- Stephenie MacLagan ’07
Environmental Specialist at Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection
U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S
R E S E A R C H O N
A L L E N I S L A N D
++ Teams of Unity College students
and faculty engaged in a variety
of research projects.
++ Biodiversity baseline studies exploring
the effects of global climate change
on Maine’s coast.
++ Study the impacts of rockweed
harvesting on the islands
invertebrate species.
Our students’ work and findings help
develop effective strategies to mitigate
global climate change and man’s impact
on the marine ecosystem.
S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y
S C I E N C E
I N A C T I O N
++ Wildlife biologists need to understand
the economics behind Maine’s annual
bear hunt.
++ Journalists reporting about the impact
of climate change on coastline habitats
must have a deep knowledge of the
science involved.
This is the kind of thinking, learning,
acting, and problem solving that will
characterize tomorrow’s generation
of environmental leaders.
“Unity college faculty and
class curriculums were very
accomodating to blurring
the lines between disciplines.”
A College of Distinction
Our approach to environmental
education earned us a place in the
2013-2014 Colleges of Distinction guide.
12 13
I N C L U S I V E, D I V E R S E
C O M M U N I T Y
“Togetherness” often rings false. But when
you believe in something as deeply as the
person standing next to you, there’s nothing
false about it. We’re not claiming every night is
a campfire and Kumbaya, but every person on
our campus is real. We share ideas and inspire
new ones. We are inclusive in our common
purpose to protect the environment.
Diverse Individuals
Sharing a Common
Purpose
“I chose to study here because
it is an institution focused on
solving environmental problems
to protect the natural world.”
- Michael Rossi ‘17
Environmental Policy Major

M A N A G E M E N T S T U D Y
Unity College is exploring how the
loss of eastern hemlock trees affects
ecosystems throughout Maine.
++ Students and faculty from a variety
of disciplines measure the effects of
infestation, logging, slow-dying trees,
and how plant and animal biodiversity
responds to those changes.
++ Their research helps land managers
anticipate the make up of forests after
hemlock disturbances, and agencies
decide what to do with lands that may
become infested.
++ One student made a significant
breakthrough regarding where
infestations may occur, and presented
his findings at three regional
conferences last year.
A N U N C O M M O N
S E N S E O F
C O M M U N I T Y
We agree. We disagree. We solve.
We come from every corner of
the globe.
++ We’re preservationists.
++ We’re conservationists.
++ We’re different, yet alike
in our common purpose.
That’s the magic of our campus culture.
We like to call it an inclusive diversity.
Because no matter how varied our
life experiences may be, we share
a common purpose and spirit that
will never quit.

It’s a big question. A powerful question.
It’s a question every Unity College student
has asked themselves at some point.
At Unity College, they’re living their answer.
Are You the Solution?
Mariana Rivera
Mariana was intricately involved
with Unity’s efforts to investigate
colonizing black bear populations in
central Maine.
At the time, the state had no current
data, and Mariana’s findings would
be crucial to Maine’s black bear
monitoring program. She published
her experience in the Spring 2014
issue of The Maine Wildlifer.
Melinda Gray
Melinda’s internship at the
Wild Horse Sanctuary in California
positioned her to increase public
awareness of issues related to the
conservation of wild horses.
Melinda conducted media outreach,
education, and research into the social
structure and biology of wild horses,
and worked to ensure their safety as
they coexisted with other animals at
the Sanctuary.

T A K I N G N O T I C E
No other college in the nation takes
such a radically logical approach to
higher education as we do.
++ In 2014, we experienced a 25 percent
increase in the number of first time
freshman students on campus.
++ Recently we have added more
faculty and staff than at any other
time in our history.
++ In 2014, we built a new student
residence that meets LEED
Silver standards.
++ Plans have begun for a Sustainability
Science and Conference Center, which
will strengthen our position as a
beacon of environmental education.
The world needs a new kind of
environmental leader. It needs
well-rounded visionaries who go beyond
conserving nature and instead bring
science, technology, and passion in an
unrelenting pursuit of new solutions.
That’s the kind of leader we’ve been
giving to the world for half a century
Unity College.
Come Join Us and
Be the Solution.

UnityCollege prospectus v8_production

  • 1. 1
  • 2. 2 3 E T H O S We are Facing the Most Critical Environmental Issues in Human History. Unity College is Dedicated to UnleashingTomorrow’s Generation of Environmental Professionals to Ensure the Earth’s Wildlife, Resources, & Inhabitants Survive. It’s Time for Action. Is Unity College Where You Belong?
  • 3. 4 5 I N T R O D U C T I O N - Dr. Stephen Mulkey President of Unity College “Ourapproachrepresentsreal change in higher education, addressing education in an expansive, comprehensive way that is turning the outdated lecture models that still plague higher education upside down.” O U R C A M P U S Unity College is ideally located for studying the environment. ++ 225 acres in midcoast Maine. ++ 17 million acres of forest ++ 32,000 miles of rivers streams ++ 6,000 lakes ponds ++ 3,500 miles of coastline ++ 45 minutes south of Bangor ++ 90 minutes north of Portland ++ 3.5 hours north of Boston Something big is on the horizon. At Unity College, we know it. Our climate. Our planet. Our lives and our future. All of it is on the line, and time is running out. What’s your role? Undaunted by the challenge. Uncompromising in your goals. Unrelenting as you strive to inspire change in how the world thinks, learns, and acts. Tomorrow is waiting for that new solution. It’s waiting for you at Unity College. The Time is Now. The world needs problem solvers and stewards of the earth.
  • 4. 6 7 S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y S C I E N C E F R A M E W O R K Revolutionary. Unity College educates visionary leaders, problem solvers, and stewards of the earth. Sustainability Science. It’s about understanding the complexity of interactions among economy, society, and nature to develop concrete solutions to the problems threatening the very survival of humanity. A New Approach to Education - Holli Cederholm ’07 U.S. Delegate at the Slow Food Conference, 2012 - Turin, Italy “I came to Unity college because I wanted to change the world.” W E C R E A T E T H E C U T T I N G E D G E When it comes to creating the cutting edge of sustainability science, that’s what we’re about. ++ Unity College was the first in the nation to introduce Sustainability Science as an educational framework. ++ Unity College has signed a national pledge to strive for a carbon neutral campus. ++ Unity College was the first college in America to divest from fossil fuel investments, sparking a national movement. ++ Unity College employs a Sustainability Staff who work daily to minimize our environmental impact. U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S B E A R S T U D Y The Unity College Bear Study is a perfect example of sustainability science in action. ++ First study of its kind to directly involve undergraduates from multiple majors in the U.S. ++ Students handle bears, perform DNA blood analysis, and conduct bear collar-tracking. ++ 70 students participated in the study the first year with high ongoing student interest. After the recent release of Unity College’s One-Year Report–offering remarkable new insights on the lives of black bears in Maine–the study has gained national attention. Terrahaus is the first passive solar residence hall anywhere in the country.
  • 5. 8 9 P R O B L E M D R I V E N, S O L U T I O N S F O C U S E D Classrooms are great. But without meaningful action, knowledge just kind of sits there. Do you want to talk about ways to solve environmental problems, or do you want to sink your hands into a coastline habitat and find the solution yourself? Dirt Washes Off, Desire Doesn’t - Tom Frezza ’08 National Parks Service “When people ask me where I got my bachelor’s degree, I am proud to say ‘Unity College.’” P R O B L E M D R I V E N, S O L U T I O N S F O C U S E D ++ Our students and faculty work with cutting-edge technology in fields, forests, lakes, rivers, oceans, and mountains. ++ Our faculty are leading national research efforts into things like the effects of acid rain on lakes throughout the Northeastern U.S. ++ Unity College alumni are recognized as visionary leaders in everything from climate change research, to art, to media and marketing, to adventure tourism. U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S W I N D E N E R G Y S T U D Y Passion to solve energy issues. The Sustainable Energy students and faculty involved in Unity College’s Wind Energy Study bring exactly the kind of desire our world needs. ++ Using wind data gathered from ‘06 – ‘13 and advanced mapping, students assess wind power for energy solutions. ++ Students work on analysis of energy policy, climate mitigation, and local renewable energy planning. ++ Our students apply knowledge from engineering, math, GIS, and climate science. Their findings have shed new light on the possibilities for cost-effective mitigation of climate pollution throughout New England and help outside organizations plan wind power developments. Purposeful Action Drives Innovation We’re about letting our passion and purpose drive innovation. In the lab. In the field. In the world. Because that’s what is takes when it comes to solving the earth’s environmental issues. Action.
  • 6. 10 11 T R A N S D I S C I P L I N A R Y S T U D Y We solve problems together. Our individual programs are great, but the real magic happens when you pull them all together to solve a real-world problem no one else could crack. That’s what we do at Unity College. Shattering Barriers, Creating Real Solutions - Stephenie MacLagan ’07 Environmental Specialist at Maine’s Department of Environmental Protection U N I T Y C O L L E G E ’ S R E S E A R C H O N A L L E N I S L A N D ++ Teams of Unity College students and faculty engaged in a variety of research projects. ++ Biodiversity baseline studies exploring the effects of global climate change on Maine’s coast. ++ Study the impacts of rockweed harvesting on the islands invertebrate species. Our students’ work and findings help develop effective strategies to mitigate global climate change and man’s impact on the marine ecosystem. S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y S C I E N C E I N A C T I O N ++ Wildlife biologists need to understand the economics behind Maine’s annual bear hunt. ++ Journalists reporting about the impact of climate change on coastline habitats must have a deep knowledge of the science involved. This is the kind of thinking, learning, acting, and problem solving that will characterize tomorrow’s generation of environmental leaders. “Unity college faculty and class curriculums were very accomodating to blurring the lines between disciplines.” A College of Distinction Our approach to environmental education earned us a place in the 2013-2014 Colleges of Distinction guide.
  • 7. 12 13 I N C L U S I V E, D I V E R S E C O M M U N I T Y “Togetherness” often rings false. But when you believe in something as deeply as the person standing next to you, there’s nothing false about it. We’re not claiming every night is a campfire and Kumbaya, but every person on our campus is real. We share ideas and inspire new ones. We are inclusive in our common purpose to protect the environment. Diverse Individuals Sharing a Common Purpose “I chose to study here because it is an institution focused on solving environmental problems to protect the natural world.” - Michael Rossi ‘17 Environmental Policy Major H E M L O C K E C O S Y S T E M M A N A G E M E N T S T U D Y Unity College is exploring how the loss of eastern hemlock trees affects ecosystems throughout Maine. ++ Students and faculty from a variety of disciplines measure the effects of infestation, logging, slow-dying trees, and how plant and animal biodiversity responds to those changes. ++ Their research helps land managers anticipate the make up of forests after hemlock disturbances, and agencies decide what to do with lands that may become infested. ++ One student made a significant breakthrough regarding where infestations may occur, and presented his findings at three regional conferences last year. A N U N C O M M O N S E N S E O F C O M M U N I T Y We agree. We disagree. We solve. We come from every corner of the globe. ++ We’re preservationists. ++ We’re conservationists. ++ We’re different, yet alike in our common purpose. That’s the magic of our campus culture. We like to call it an inclusive diversity. Because no matter how varied our life experiences may be, we share a common purpose and spirit that will never quit.
  • 8. 14 15 Learn More About America’s Environmental College unity.edu 1.800.624.1024 I T ’ S T I M E F O R A C T I O N It’s a big question. A powerful question. It’s a question every Unity College student has asked themselves at some point. At Unity College, they’re living their answer. Are You the Solution? Mariana Rivera Mariana was intricately involved with Unity’s efforts to investigate colonizing black bear populations in central Maine. At the time, the state had no current data, and Mariana’s findings would be crucial to Maine’s black bear monitoring program. She published her experience in the Spring 2014 issue of The Maine Wildlifer. Melinda Gray Melinda’s internship at the Wild Horse Sanctuary in California positioned her to increase public awareness of issues related to the conservation of wild horses. Melinda conducted media outreach, education, and research into the social structure and biology of wild horses, and worked to ensure their safety as they coexisted with other animals at the Sanctuary. unity.edu/internships T H E W O R L D I S T A K I N G N O T I C E No other college in the nation takes such a radically logical approach to higher education as we do. ++ In 2014, we experienced a 25 percent increase in the number of first time freshman students on campus. ++ Recently we have added more faculty and staff than at any other time in our history. ++ In 2014, we built a new student residence that meets LEED Silver standards. ++ Plans have begun for a Sustainability Science and Conference Center, which will strengthen our position as a beacon of environmental education. The world needs a new kind of environmental leader. It needs well-rounded visionaries who go beyond conserving nature and instead bring science, technology, and passion in an unrelenting pursuit of new solutions. That’s the kind of leader we’ve been giving to the world for half a century Unity College. Come Join Us and Be the Solution. A N E W K I N D O F E N V I R O N M E N T A L L E A D E R ++ Marc Bane ’73, founded his own marketing communications consultancy, helping companies in the alternative energy and cleantech industries succeed. ++ Hilary Barnadore ’97, is executive director of STAR Communities, an organization that helps communities measure the impact of activism. ++ Tom Godaire ’12, has joined the ranks of the world’s elite climate change researchers at Maine’s prestigious Climate Change Institute. ++ Andrea Miller ’13, is a research assistant at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, investigating the ecological, social, and economic impact of tropical forests in the Panama Canal Watershed. ++ Dr. Mike Wallace ’73, helped save the California Condor from extinction through his innovative techniques and protocols of raising baby birds. ++ David Yates ’99, is a wildlife research biologist tasked by the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service to assess the survivability of birds after oil spills. He is also a leading researcher in the stuy of white nose syndrome in bats. I N T E R N S H I P S C A R E E R S
