The Sustainable Solutions Collaborative (SSC) is a leadership program to provide students with the opportunity to learn about issues, projects and solutions related to sustainability, develop a deeper engagement in sustainability through their courses, projects and activities, and gain experience as leaders in sustainability.
Faculty/Student Collaborative Meetings are set up as part of this program to provide a forum for faculty and students to work together on major problems related to sustainability and assist students on their projects. This includes a set of meetings (one per term throughout the year) that will engage on a topic in sustainability and allow members of the community to learn about each other’s work and consider options for coordinating and collaborating on specific topics.
The next meeting is scheduled for A Term 2024 (October 4th)
