Key Points

  • Environmental scientist
  • Increase knowledge on sustainable practices
  • Highlight current links to sustainability already in the faculty
  • Promote sustainability events done at the uni
  • Work with all areas of the faculty to increase sustainability

I am a third year environmental science student with an interest in sustainability. I would like to help implement what I have learnt in my studies to the wider university context. Sustainability should be embedded into all aspects of the faculty and as such I want to highlight the current links to sustainability already in the faculty and work to improve the sustainability of the faculty. I want to include all areas of the faculty in this as sustainability is an interdisciplinary area and many of the sustainable development goals overlap, improving sustainability should also follow this. I have had experience with collecting feedback from students before through my role as course representative in my first year of uni.
