Philosophy Statement

In the interest of providing a safe and healthy environment for students, employees, and visitors, Kalamazoo College supports the spirit and legal requirements of the Michigan Clean Indoor Air Act and the protection that legislation affords nonsmokers. We trust that our faculty, staff, and students will work together in all campus facilities to insure clean air for those who choose not to smoke or be subjected to the health hazards of secondhand smoke.
