About us

  • What we do

    We bring together like-minded students and support graduate student-led sustainability initiatives and educational events for the community!

  • Where we are in the Graduate Student Council (GSC)

    We are a sub-committee under the Housing & Community Affairs (HCA) committee in the GSC.

  • Funding

    We manage the Sustainability Fund that students can tap into for community-targeted, educational projects related to sustainability (see related tab on top for more information).

Past Events

  • Waltham Community Farm Tour

    Students learnt about urban and sustainable agriculture and picked their own produce in a community farm in Waltham, MA!

  • Clothes mending workshops

    Ariel from Career Advising and Professional Development has hosted several clothes mending workshops to great turnouts (with more to come). Say nay to fast fashion and learn to take care of your beloved clothes!

  • Arnold Arboreteum tour

    Students learnt how an arboreteum serves as a museum and research environment for a variety of flora and fauna, the history of the area and what locals like to plant in their front yards (and what native plant alternatives there could be).
