SGA Sustainability Committee

SGA Sustainability Committee

The Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) is a committee of the University of Maryland's undergraduate Student Government Association (SGA). SSC advises the SGA and University administration to ensure that environmental sustainability remains a campus-wide focus.

SSC works on environmental issues on campus, in the community and even in the state. Historically, we've worked on initiatives related to transportation, water and energy use, food and resources consumption, development and landscape planning, environmental education, and beyond. We're always open to new initiatives, so if you've got an idea, we want to hear it!

Membership in U21 allows UMD to connect with many of the best universities in the world at once, advancing our mission of bringing the world to the campus and projecting the University on to the world stage.
