Our commitment to engaging Nittany Lions as sustainability leaders doesn’t stop when our students graduate. Penn State wants to help its alumni be lifelong learners and practitioners of sustainability and is proud to boast an extensive network of alumni leading sustainability efforts around the world.

SustainPSU aims to help alumni working or interested in sustainability to network with each other and stay connected to the University’s progress. If you are interested in learning more, helping us to establish a formal alumni network, and/or suggesting initiatives for the network, please contact Katie Chriest, SustainPSU associate director for strategic communication, at kmc503@psu.edu.
