Partner Programs

Selected Campus Partners and Labs

Partnerships with campus and local organizations offer ESS majors numerous opportunities.

A partnership with the Center for Sustainability (CfS) facilitates Forge Garden and Center internships, community farm-stand volunteer opportunities, student-led events, and more.

Our collaboration with the Environmental Justice and the Common Good Initiative offers opportunities to participate in faculty-mentored, community-engaged research experiences across California and beyond, often resulting in posters and/or conference presentations.

ESS also frequently partners with the:

• Miller Center for Global Impact, which aims to accelerate entrepreneurship to end global poverty and protect the planet.
• Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, which helps people and groups handle tough real-world choices using tools like its five-part ethical decision-making framework
• Unhoused Initiative, which seeks to center the dignity of people experiencing homelessness in the discussion of our community response to it.
