They have one wind turbine partially powering the campus with plans for two more to provide additional power and include the neighboring community. They have installed a biomass gasification reactor that will use local corn cobs and other biomass. The food service works with students at composting and original research. They also host each semester a "pride of the prairie" dinner with all foods served grown within 100 miles of the campus. The dinner is open to the community and is a high point of the semester.
