Ignite student interest to study and pursue career opportunities in related fields!

The Students for a Sustainable Future EXPO is an unique opportunity for students to learn first-hand from corporations, non-profits and NGOs across industries who will showcase their best practices in sustainable development. Exhibit topics range and demonstrate an organizations' goals to incorporate environmental, economic, and societal considerations into their missions as well as their programs and practices. Sponsors have a committment to fostering the next generation of innovative thinkers and critical decision makers that recognize this interconnectedness.

EXPO GOALS

The most powerful approach to advance sustainability is to ensure that the next generation has the intellectual tools necessary to design effective products, processes, and systems. The EXPO seeks to be a catalyst for change among our future arhcitects and designers, builders and scientists, policy makers, corporate leaders and more! By providing students an opportunity to experience the diverse way in which leaders are already making a difference, we seek to encourage all students not only to make behavioral changes now but to seek fields of study and career paths that will promote a more sustainable future.
