Sustainability at SMC

Campus sustainability provides students who want to solve real-world problems and apply their learning in ways that prepare them for future careers in the green economy. The Sustainability Department helps students find a way to learn about and get involved in sustainability through classes, workshops, clubs, events, jobs and internships, because we believe in educating students for “character and citizenship as much as for commerce and career”.
