The knowledge I gained and connections I made with Lehigh Sustainability provide an unwavering commitment to climate sustainability that I leverage every single day in my job and personal life."

“Working with the Swap Shop for the past 2 years has been an incredible experience. I’ve been able to connect with the Lehigh community through my passions of fashion, design, sustainability and event planning!

Being a communications assistant for the shop has pushed me to think outside the box on how I can creatively present such a fun, interactive, underrated part of campus to Lehigh students, faculty, staff and community members.

I’m also proud to work with the Office of Sustainability because of their care and respect for all the work study students and can genuinely say it has had such a positive impact on my Lehigh experience. ”

ONLY 6 HOURS LEFT TO GIVE! Help us support students like CJ, who have been able to develop leadership skills and gain experiential learning from programs like the Eco-Rep Leadership Program and Greening the United Nations Mission.

“The Greening the UN program has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. To be able to educate members of the most influential sustainability organization in the world on how they can implement greener practices in their own missions is really an unimaginable opportunity. Lehigh Sustainability has shown me the expertise and passion within our campus and has provided me with assurance in our future environmental leaders.”
