I would not have my position without the Sustainability Internship course. It gave me so many tools that led to my success in the role and will be instrumental in my future.
Bedford, New HampshireMore about Ellie - Elijah Black BA ’23
Students should definitely expect to learn a lot about sustainability at L&C. It is actively discussed on campus, and there are a ton of clubs and opportunities to get involved, including SEED, Garden Club, and Tiny House Club.
San Francisco and Pacifica, CaliforniaMore about Elijah - Kiara Y. González BA ’27
L&C fosters a campus community where students, faculty, and staff work together to create a more environmentally sustainable future. I feel admiration and hope knowing that L&C is actively working toward reducing it’s impact on the planet and fostering a culture of sustainability.
