In the Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program, 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. By way of this Showcase, we are proud to present a multitude of student projects, innovative designs, and sustainability assessments exploring a vast range of topics.  

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 the Kirkhof Center - Grand River Room.

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