The same type of people who choose COA for their education, work here as professor or staff, or serve as a trustee: Those who believe a better world is possible. Those who would rather roll up their sleeves than throw up their hands. Those who believe a sustainable world is worth working towards. Those who know a carbon footprint isn't something you see in the snow. Those who understand education for education's sake makes sense. Those who know complex problems need thoughtful, creative solutions. Those who believe the wonder of wild places like Acadia National Park should be preserved.
If you want to make a difference, there's a hundred ways to do so. Come join us.
