What is the SSC?

The Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) is a committee of the University of Maryland's undergraduate Student Government Association (SGA). SSC advises the SGA and University administration to ensure that environmental sustainability remains a campus-wide focus.

 

SSC works on environmental issues on campus, in the community and even in the state. Historically, we've worked on initiatives related to transportation, water and energy use, food and resources consumption, development and landscape planning, environmental education, and beyond. We're always open to new initiatives, so if you've got an idea, we want to hear it!

 

Though, SSC is not all about work. We believe that the best way to create change is to have fun in the process. So beyond all the various intiatives we work on, we get together for group hikes, camping trips, picnics, bike rides, and more. Being a part of SSC, is not just being a part of a campus committee, its being a part of a community. 

 

Mission Statement

The SSC is dedicated to educating and uniting the University of Maryland in regards to sustainability on campus, in College Park and in the State. We challenge the social, environmental, and economic institutions on campus, and beyond, in order to create progressive and innovative sustainable change to better the future for all University of Maryland students.

Meetings

For the 2019-2020 year, the Sustainability Committee will be meeting in the SGA Suite of the Student Org Resource Center in Stamp Student Union. Thursdays, 6-7pm.
