What is the Student Sustainability Network?
Supported by the Sustainability Institute, the SSN welcomes all Â鶹Éç students, from all majors. The network is an informal group of students connected by their passion, interest in, and curiosity about sustainability. You’ll get connected to other Wildcats through casual and fun events, information sharing, and networking with other students and alumni.
There are no requirements – you choose how you want to be involved! All students at Â鶹Éç can participate, you just need to have an interest in getting involved in sustainability.
Get connected and involved!

Monthly Sustainability Cafes
Cafes are designed by our student Network Coordinator Intern to connect students in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Enjoy food together, good conversation on sustainability topics and do an activity, like creating dog toys out of old clothing fabric to donate to a local shelter, or making cookie ingredient jars to donate to Â鶹Éç's Cats' Cupboard, our campus food pantry. Each month features a new theme and activity.
Weekly Sustainability Opportunities in Your Inbox
Get inspired each week! Students curate a wide range of sustainability related events (guest speakers, movies, etc.), internships (paid and for credit!), hands-on opportunities, courses, volunteering (waste audits, garden planting, etc.), clubs and other ways to get involved on campus and in our communities. You'll have lots to choose from, right in your inbox!
Sustainability Career Events
Curious about sustainability careers? Want to hear from Â鶹Éç alumni actively doing this work? Each fall semester, we invite recent Â鶹Éç grads whose careers involve sustainability in some way, back to campus to talk with you about their Â鶹Éç experiences, career advice, and to answer your questions.
Build Your Professional Network Before You Graduate: Connect with Â鶹Éç Alumni
As you approach entering the world of work, in your junior year, you'll be invited to join our Â鶹Éç Sustainability Alumni LinkedIn Group. It's made up of dedicated alumni who care about sustainability and are interested in mentoring or connecting with other Â鶹Éç alums. We also share job and internship openings from our regional partner organizations, local events, and other networking opportunities so you can build a network before graduating.
