Seton Hill University to Implement Lighting the Future Initiative with Grant Support from WPPSEF

August 21, 2023

Seton Hill University has received a $43,000 grant from WPPSEF to begin implementation of the university’s three-year Lighting the Future program. This sustainable energy and education program will significantly reduce energy consumption while educating Seton Hill students on how these technologies can benefit the environment.

Seton Hill currently has 200 large outdoor lights with incandescent bulbs that illuminate the campus to protect the safety of its students, faculty, staff, visitors, and community. Through the “Lighting the Future” program, Seton Hill will replace all 200 fixtures to allow for the transition to LED lighting. The initiative will also demonstrate the impact this transition will have on Seton Hill’s campus environment (particularly wildlife) through coursework and workshops.
