The Hanley Sustainability Institute (HSI) is excited to announce a new program for students who want to share their passion and experience in sustainability with other students, faculty and staff in furthering HSI’s goal to become a national leader in sustainability education.
The UD Sustainability Leaders program provides experiential learning opportunities for students to contribute to and become integral team members on HSI projects and programming. Opportunities will range from short-term volunteer efforts to selective semester and year-long supported student leader positions in HSI. At all participation levels, HSI seeks to provide students with ways to act on their passion for a more sustainable world.
Sustainability Leaders (SL) join the full HSI team on a daily basis in working to achieve the strategic goals of the Institute. SL positions are a great way for UD students who have a passion for sustainability to gain valuable vocational experience before graduating.
Volunteering is a great way for all students from any year or major to be part of HSI projects and programming from just a few hours up to a full project.
My position as sustainability education student leader has changed the course of my career path, instilled a passion in me for environmental education, and reminds me daily what I feel called to do.

However, I didn't want to let that passion fade and I realized there was an impact I could be having even as an undergrad, by working with HSI on campus.

We talk a lot about how we think UD perceives sustainability, but we do not have any concrete data to support our claims. So I worked with HSI's Post-Doctoral fellow, Dr. Felix Fernando, to create this survey. We?re hoping to use the results from this survey to advance HSI's efforts in the future.
