Education and Research (ER)
Co-Curricular Education
This subcategory seeks to recognize institutions that provide their students with
sustainability learning experiences outside the formal curriculum. Engaging in sustainability
issues through co-curricular activities allows students to deepen and apply their
understandings of sustainability principles. Institution-sponsored co-curricular sustainability
offerings, often coordinated by student affairs offices, help integrate sustainability
into the campus culture and set a positive tone for the institution.
