  • Join the Sustainability Union

    The Sustainability Union (SSU) needs your help! 

    The Sustainability Union advocates for sustainability to be a top priority at the college by employing the use of sound environmental practices, reducing our negative impact on the local environment, raising awareness on campus and in the community, and promoting social responsibility and global awareness. 

    About the Sustainability Union
    The Sustainability Union began in spring semester of 2011 as a response not only to the national attention the topic of sustainability had received, but also to address the growing focus on student involvement and global awareness. The students enjoy the responsibility as active members of the JJCSI Committee as they continually keep education and awareness in mind.

  • Give Back by Volunteering
