Information and resources about sustainability and residence life at Santa Clara University. Learn about CyPhi, the Residential Learning Community integrating sustainability and the arts, or download "kits" to design a bulletin board about a specific issue related to sustainability.

The Office of Sustainability organizes a number of annual events for the campus community. These events help students, faculty, and staff learn more about sustainability, and how to get involved on campus.

Engaging in sustainability issues through co-curricular activities allows students to deepen and apply their understandings of sustainability principles. Student organizations help integrate sustainability into the campus culture and ensure we continue to have fun!
