The Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program (ENS) is pleased to present a multitude of student projects, innovative designs, and sustainability assessments exploring a vast range of topics. Students develop a holistic, place-based understanding of environmental and sustainability challenges to generate solutions to real-world problems in areas such as food systems, energy and climate change, water resources, or culture and the built environment.

Student projects are organized by course. We invite you to check out our work and share helpful comments or suggestions. Feedback forms are found at the bottom of each project page. 

While most students have displayed their projects here virtually, others will present at this Friday's in-person Sustainability Showcase Event on Allendale Campus. In addition to student presentations, we will also host a community partner networking opportunity featuring LGROW, New City Neighbors,  WMEAC, and Community Action House!

We hope you'll join us!  Refreshments will be provided.
