Students can become involved in furthering sustainability on campus in several ways:

(1) as representatives on the President's Environmental Sustainability Committee (PESC).
The application process for students to join PESC is competitive. Once accepted, all student members (a) will be a member of the Student Subcommittee of PESC; (b) are expected to participate actively in PESC initiatives and work closely with the PESC faculty advisor(s); and (c) will join one of the eight PESC subcommittees (Academics and Student Life, Communication, Office of Sustainability, Operations/Energy Use, Physical Environment, Transportation, Earth Day, and Waste Minimization and Recycling).

(2) in senior thesis or independent projects sponsored by an academic department and mentored by faculty members in one of the colleges.

(3) in independent projects across campus that are associated with the President’s Environmental Sustainability Committee. Contact nancy.kelley@villanova.edu or john.olson@villanova.edu if interested.
