Learn best practices and resources for living a sustainable student lifestyle.
Reasons to certify
Sustainability is everyone’s responsibility—that’s why it’s important to engage with and empower the community to take action to create sustainable change. Certification is your opportunity to chip in. Your actions matter, and we want to recognize them.
Not only will you receive a digital copy of your certificate and badge (or ribbon), but we will also recognize you on the leaderboard of participants and through the Sustainability Office’s social media channels.

Notes
You must complete the form in one session, as your progress is not saved.
Certifications are valid for one year, and we update the programs annually to ensure they continue to align with sustainability best practices.
