Social Impact Community - Faculty Research

Who we are

The Social Impact Community (SIC) works to build a more sustainable and resilient society — from environmental action to health and well-being, engagement, and belonging.

The community integrates sustainability principles into research, curriculum, student activities, facilities, and community engagement to address pressing societal challenges. The SIC collaborates with units throughout the college and across campus to find and implement sustainable solutions.
