Ready to tackle today’s biggest environmental challenges? At the Environmental Center, students take the lead in addressing critical environmental and social issues through hands-on projects. From advancing sustainability initiatives to creating lasting change, our programs give students the opportunity to make a real impact—and you can be part of it.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: “To strengthen students’ commitment to creating a more environmentally and socially responsible world by providing meaningful opportunities to foster change on campus and in the community.”
