Hear from our students
“The FRESH Sustainability Leadership Program was an amazing experience. As a Graduate Student in a program that’s not explicitly catered towards sustainability, it was helpful to learn about potential sustainability careers that my skill set would be useful in!”

“The Sustainability Leadership Program provided a great opportunity to network with people who actively worked towards sustainability from all facets of a variety of industries. To me, it really emphasized how, regardless of my position or experience, I can help make impactful changes that work towards a more sustainable future, and there is much opportunity out there to do so.”
