Sustainability Consultancy
The Sustainability Consultancy helps student organizations, staff departments, and academic departments brainstorm and implement actions that will work in line with the goals of Energy2028 and enhance overall sustainability.
Sustainability Consultants are students that are hired and trained by the SSL and then matched with an organization/department on campus. The Consultants will work in close connection with their clients, advising departments/organizations in areas such as energy consumption, waste management, and the development of more sustainable, climate-conscious curricula and programming.
