Student Engagement

Empowering Students through Sustainability

Our campus serves as a living laboratory for hands-on learning in environmental sustainability.

Students can get involved through our Sustainability Working Groups and various sustainability focused organizations including Animal Club, Beekeeping, GEO Club and Outdoor Rec.

The university aims to boost student engagement with sustainability through various initiatives, including Green Resident Assistant positions, a first-year engagement plan and customizable projects for student clubs. These efforts also include semester-long projects for students in areas like energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable dining, recycling and more. Past projects include recycling program audits, energy efficient mini-fridge use on campus and sustainable food fairs. These efforts, along with the relaunch of the student sustainability service scholar program, will provide students with diverse opportunities to engage with and lead in sustainability efforts on campus.  

Sustainability Working Groups

Sustainable Students @ SU

A person sitting cross-legged on grass, wearing a gray fleece and glasses, is gently holding a small black and white piglet. Other people are visible in the background on the grassy area.

Animal Club

Focused on providing students with an outlet to interact with and gain experience with all types of animals.

A wooden beehive box with multiple frames is shown, filled with a large number of bees. The bees are actively moving across the frames, with some flying in and out. Sunlight illuminates the scene, highlighting the natural activity of the bees.

Beekeeping

In 2018, Susquehanna became the first university in Pennsylvania to be certified as an affiliate of Bee Campus USA.

Two people in outdoor gear examine a small stream in a lush forest. One holds a yellow pole, while the other leans over the water, possibly collecting samples. Buckets and equipment are nearby, surrounded by green foliage and rocks.
Research is working on agricultural streams.

GEO Club

Get Everyone Outdoors Club is an Earth and Environmental Sciences club at Susquehanna University welcoming ANYONE with an interest in the environment and outdoor recreation.

A group of people engaged in outdoor recreation is hiking up a forest trail. They are dressed casually, with some in shorts and t-shirts. Lush green trees line the path, and a scenic landscape unfolds in the background. Smiles abound as they enjoy their invigorating walk.
