BBUC is a community-engaged higher education institution. Some of our outreach programs and services include:
Environmental Initiatives
Climate change is a very serious challenge that affects us all. BBUC is in dialogue with several environmental agencies seeking ways to support them. The groups that are currently a part of this conversation is the Nature Conservancy, The Forestry Unit (The Ministry of Housing and the Environment) and the Bahamas Protected Areas Fund. We are also in the process of reaching out to others.
