Sustainability clubs and organizations

The School of Sustainability supports a number of clubs and organizations specific to our Students in our majors.

Ambassadors

The School of Sustainability undergraduate ambassadors are student leaders who assist in recruitment and retention efforts for the School. The ambassadors represent the student perspective to future students, parents and the community at-large. They also serve as resources to current sustainability students and help connect these students to the School through programs and events. Interviews for ambassador positions are conducted in late fall. Students interested should watch for the call for applications in the School of Sustainability weekly e-newsletter. A list of current ambassadors can be found at School of Sustainability Ambassadors.

Academy

The School of Sustainability Academy is a community of high-achieving, socially embedded sustainability students. The academy fosters academic success, leadership skills, community engagement, and persistence to graduate and reach goals beyond graduation. Academy experiences are available to all first-year students, and require membership eligibility and renewal to continue participation. Additional information can be found at School of Sustainability Undergraduate Academy.

Sustainabilibuddies

The Sustainabilibuddies Peer Mentor Program is coordinated by a group of upper division School of Sustainability students in order to provide friendship, mentorship and peer-to-peer resource sharing to our first-year students. Returning students are connected with new students based on academic interests, personal hobbies and mutual passions in order to establish a peer support network. Incoming students will learn more about the opportunity to participate during the Academic Advising & Course Planning Session of the New Student Experience (ASU new student orientation).

Two $500 scholarships awards are also available each year to Honor Society members. The Honor Society for Sustainability is open to undergraduate sustainability majors, graduate students and other students with sustainability concentrations.

Events include educational community engagement, group hiking cleanups and integration of sustainable practices into Greek events.
