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.
