EII Student Advisory Committee

The Environmental Innovations Initiative aims to enhance its sustainability and environmental outreach by hosting a Student Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC serves as a vital link between students and EII, promoting engagement and visibility on campus, and seeking student perspectives on EII's programming. This is an unpaid opportunity that allows students to grow their network and have their voice heard in Penn's academic environmental efforts.

SAC members contribute to the Initiative through various activities, including consulting on student interests, organizing events, engaging with campus partners, facilitating workshops, conducting networking events, and tabling on campus to expand the visibility of the Initiative and engage with a wide array of students. Interested Penn students may email Kate LaSpina for more information.
