Educational Programs 

At the Penn State Smeal College of Business, sustainability is a topic woven into the curriculum across multiple academic departments and areas of study. As part of coursework and within student-led initiatives outside of the classroom, students and faculty identify sustainability-related opportunities and challenges, analyze them, and develop frameworks that provide solutions for moving forward.

The Center provides various ways for students and alumni to engage with sustainability and the Smeal College of Business through programming, events, student groups, the Smeal Sustainability Alumni Network, and more.
