The Fall 2023 launch of University-wide Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), sparked a surge of enthusiasm in the sustainability community at Penn State. SustainaLions, a new ERG focused on sustainability in the workplace and beyond, was unveiled on April 23 during Earth Month at a staff social hour event in the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus.

ERGs, which are voluntary, employee-led groups formed around common identities, backgrounds or interests, are open to all Penn State staff and faculty and help promote community and belonging.

The mission of SustainaLions is to educate, engage and connect Penn State employees through a collaborative alliance focused on sustainability; and to encourage an ethic and practice of sustainability for a greener future. This new ERG will bring together a diverse community of Penn State faculty and staff to help advance the University’s sustainability goals, while simultaneously supporting and empowering personal and professional growth.
