Columbia Student Union for Sustainable Development

The Columbia Student Union for Sustainable Development (SUSD) advances the experiences of Columbia University undergraduates who strive to make a positive social and environmental impact through their pursuits in sustainability, energy, climate, and beyond. We believe in the power of exploration, especially in undergrad. We expose students to possibilities across the whole of the planet we endeavor to protect: sustainable finance, energy and environmental law, sustainability consulting, scientific research, nonprofits, startups, and more. Focusing on our dimensions of 1) professional development, 2) academic advising, and 3) community building, our premier platform enriches students with expert-led panels, access to proprietary resources, networking, mentorship opportunities, and social events. We are a community that embodies the diverse and all-encompassing nature of sustainable development, because we understand it will take each of us — beyond the niches of our individual careers, studies, and lives — to strive, in collaboration and in regenerative vision, to realize the world we wish to see. Join us. The power is yours.
