"The School of Sustainability not only provides an ample academic foundation, it also helps its students apply creative systems-thinking approaches and cutting-edge technologies to real-world sustainability problems. Through the school, I attained employment opportunities which reinforced my coursework, providing me hands-on work experiences that enriched my term papers and applied-project thesis."
- Brigitte Bavousett
"The School of Sustainability has opened my eyes to sustainability issues that I had never thought of. It has taught me that sustainability goes way beyond changing a light bulb and driving my car less. It is about the social interactions you make in your community. SOS has taught me to be passionate about any idea I may have and any issue I find to be important because it is highly likely that there are others who are similarly passionate."

"I love the interdisciplinary aspect of the program.
We interact with people that we otherwise would
never meet."
- Chris Mercer
"Sustainability
is all about connections - reconnecting people
to their places, and building networks between diverse branches of society.
This program has done an amazing job at bringing together people from many
backgrounds in such a way that we can truly begin to understand the multi-faceted
approach that is necessary toward achieving sustainability."
- Carissa Thomas
"It's really interesting to work in such an interdisciplinary
setting and interact with people from so many different backgrounds (both
academically and culturally). It’s also exciting to be able to build a new program in a new field,
and the faculty and staff have been incredibly supportive in helping us
to make the transition to this new way of thinking."
