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.
