Assistant Director, Dickinson College Center for Sustainability Education
Before coming to Dickinson College in 2011 as the Assistant Director of the Center for Sustainability Education, Lindsey Lyons served as a professor of environmental studies, a community extension agent and as director of various non-profit organizations working to promote education and sustainability. Lyons completed her B.S. in biology from Lynchburg College and a M.S. in environmental education from Southern Oregon University. As a certified K-12 teacher, outdoor school creator and experiential education advocate, Lindsey understands that education is key to a sustainable future and believes that colleges and universities hold a unique position to engage students in experiential learning. Currently, Lyons’ work at Dickinson is striving to create greater clarity, commonality and deliberateness of purpose to our efforts to infuse sustainability across our curriculum, co-curricular programs, global education programs, campus life, operations and civic engagement. Lyons’ experiences at various levels of institutional development have allowed her create best practices for proposing and implementing programs that guide institutions towards positive change.
