Student Sustainability Committee

The Student Sustainability Committee is a group of 12 students dedicated to improving sustainability at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. With the help of 10 faculty and staff that serve as member-advisors, we meet to review and vote on what projects receive funding and check in on those projects that have already received funding. Using two student fees, the Sustainable Campus Environment Fee and the Cleaner Energy Technologies Fee, we review submitted projects and distribute funding to projects that we deem to be most beneficial to the University of Illinois. Both of these student fees bring in over $1.1 million annually, which is one of the largest sustainability fund of its kind in the United States.

Engineering Design Council

The Engineering Design Council was founded in 2006 by the College of Engineering to promote interdisciplinary design projects and to provide matching support. These are team-based projects who work in collaboration with industry sponsors and faculty advisers from one or more departments. We want to give our students the opportunity to compete and place in competitions all over the world and to further their careers in the industry.
