Education

JTS supports students in their academic journey to build a more just and sustainable world through their careers, their service to society, and their day-to-day actions.

The Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative offers Notre Dame students the space to critically reflect on integral ecology as a sustainability framework that not only informs their future at Notre Dame, but also students' actions in their communities beyond their time at the University. Community engagement and campus partnerships are the main pillars in creating this ecosystem, with students a crucial element. Centered around this relationship-building, our student programming includes social opportunities for fellowship and discussion, internship opportunities, interdisciplinary research, and experiential learning.
