Students

Students play an essential role in Harvard’s sustainability mission. Harvard has a variety of programs that engage students in sustainability action.  
 

Engaging students is key to reaching Harvard’s sustainability goals 

Students will continue to provide feedback and recommendations on Harvard’s overall sustainability strategy and collaboratively lead projects to advance the University’s sustainability vision and priorities.

ISCN Photo Contest

The International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) is launching an extended edition of the “Biodiversity on Campus” Photo Contest, and we warmly invite members of the Harvard community to take part.

The contest highlights biodiversity measures and nature-positive moments on university campuses. Participants submit one photograph and a few details that bring the image to life: together, images and additional information form powerful, engaging narratives that help us think — and act — together for a resilient future.

Submit your photo by February 28, 2026.
