Sustainability in Action Fellowship

Growing sustainability research and action

The Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative aims to cultivate and support a growing network of Notre Dame students dedicated to building a more just and sustainable world both during their time at Notre Dame and through their future careers. To advance this goal, JTS has selected the inaugural cohort of undergraduate students for the Sustainability in Action Fellowship.

On September 30th, the JTS Initiative’s inaugural Sustainability in Action Fall Symposium will provide a platform for Fellows to showcase their summer work to the Notre Dame community and build connections with students, faculty, and alumni. More details about the Symposium will be announced soon.

Meet the inaugural cohort of Sustainability in Action Fellows.
