Help to build a better future
We are addressing some of the most critical challenges of our time, and the demand for our graduates is strong. The School’s course of study emphasizes experiential learning, research with faculty, corporate and K-12 work, community service, and leadership development.
The knowledge and solutions that are created today will shape our quality of life as well as future generations – we have an opportunity and an obligation to make our world more sustainable.
Together, our faculty and students are addressing global challenges that include energy, materials and technology; water quality and supply; international development; ecosystems; social transformations; food and food systems; and policy and governance.
Your investment in the School of Sustainability gives our students a broader perspective and a deeper ability to rethink and reinvent the future of a world at risk.

Sustainability undergraduate research experience
Research is a key component of any sustainability degree. The nation’s first School of Sustainability offers students at every academic level the opportunity to work collaboratively across disciplines.
By applying classroom concepts to real-world scenarios, sustainability students find solutions to pressing environmental, economic and social challenges. The SURE program offers a tiered approach to research opportunities for undergraduate students in the School of Sustainability that can also lead to internship and study abroad possibilities.
Food systems and solutions
Your contribution helps us develop innovative ideas and solutions to the many challenges of current food systems.
Your gift supports a broad range of activities at the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems and empowers the work of 60+ faculty members along with staff and students, all of whom are engaged in food-related work dedicated to achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by creating and disseminating knowledge about food systems that drive economic productivity and social progress
Faculty research
Over 300 faculty members across ASU have joined our circle of Sustainability Scientists and Scholars, recognizing their teaching and research in sustainability in engineering, business, humanities, design, nutrition – you get the idea – will be stronger if we work together.
There are a number of ways your gifts can strengthen sustainability faculty, from nurturing and rewarding early-career professors to attracting an industry leader to serve as an Executive-in-Residence for a day or for a year. Awards for distinguished senior academic leaders are also deeply valued as are funds to support the research and teaching activities of key faculty members.
