Sustainability at OSU

What Is Sustainability Council?

The OSU Sustainability Council unites student clubs and organizations – and individual students – with passion for sustainability and social justice at OSU. The Council builds relationships, encourages collaboration, and reduces redundancy in sustainability efforts among students. As part of Council, students support new and existing sustainability work at OSU – such as by volunteering and deciding how to allocate university resources. Sustainability Council drives shared goals and collective action. 

Sustainability Council is a departmental program by the Sustainability Office.
