The goal of the Environmental Law Society is to provide law students interested in environmental law with the opportunity to network and gain information about career paths in the field. While we work toward improving the environment, the Society seeks to promote awareness of environmental issues that law students are interested in tackling.

This year the Environmental Law Society hopes to become a major presence on campus and in the community. We have planned thought-provoking and action-oriented meetings, during which we encourage students to share their ideas. We hope to engage faculty and students by holding forums in which we discuss current environmental law issues and ways in which we can act upon these issues.

2008-2009 marks the beginning of the SCU Student Sustainability Convergence - a collection of leaders from all student organizations doing sustainability work. SCU SSC will meet a few times each quarter. The Convergence serves as a common ground and communication platform. Representatives will will share opportunities, events, ideas, and foster collaboration. The SSC will unite students' efforts to develop more collaborative events and richer discussions of sustainability. Leaders of sustainability-related organizations are welcome to join and share SSC information with their organization.
