GETTING INVOLVED ON CAMPUS 

List of environmental / sustainability focused leadership activities on campus:

Terra Firma

Terra Firma is an NYU Florence campus INITIATIVE.  Through talks, workshops, hand-on-experience and field trips, Terra Firma aims to facilitate a deeper appreciation of the gardens and agricultural land that form the Villa La Pietra estate, to more fully enjoy it and to use it as a mirror reflecting wider issues in the world. As of 2022 the estate has supplied the on-site Villa Natalia cafeteria with fresh, zero-miles, organic produce in a way that is good for human health and our environment.
