Student Leadership – at the heart of the Student’s Green Unit (SGU)

Our students become leaders in sustainability by...

•  Becoming key communicators and role models for sustainable action amongst their peers. •  Being introduced to key staff members as change-agents, thus helping them to create strong links and higher visibility. •  Developing their university into a renowned hub of sustainable activities. •  Contributing to ongoing strategies through effective lobbying and campaigning. •  Forming a strong network of sustainability champions to lead by example for others to follow.
