Students in our programs are driven about building a more sustainable campus, city, and world. They’re actively involved in Columbia EcoReps, which works with campus offices to promote sustainable living, and Consilience, a global online journal focused on interdisciplinary conversations about sustainability.
The Student Union for Sustainable Development (SUSD) also plays a key role—empowering undergraduates to make a positive impact through work in sustainability, energy, and climate action. SUSD helps connect students with the department, offers academic and professional support, and fosters a strong, engaged community.
Student Spotlights
Our students come from diverse backgrounds, bringing an array of perspectives on sustainability topics into the programs and building upon the knowledge learned in the classroom through internships, field research, and co-curricular activities. Many are also involved in efforts dedicated to creating a more sustainable campus, city, and world. Learn more about capstone projects, studying abroad programs, internships and the many ways Columbia students engage with sustainability directly from our community!
