For Students

Long before the term “sustainability” entered the everyday vocabulary, UC Davis students have been at the forefront of the movement. From the birth of Whole Earth Day in 1970 to today’s ASUCD Environmental Policy and Planning Commission, Project Compost and Unitrans, our students have played a strong role in advancing and nurturing sustainability at UC Davis.

Getting involved is easy. Check out the academic offerings and investigate some of the student centers and initiatives featured here. At UC Davis, students are making a difference.
