Environment & Sustainability students actively participate in campus collaborative groups that enhance their leadership skills and deepen their commitment to sustainability.
These groups provide hands-on opportunities to address environmental and social issues, shape campus sustainability practices, and engage with the broader community and regional leaders.
Through these experiences, students build professional skills, form meaningful connections, and contribute to fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.
