fosters academic success, leadership skills, community engagement,
and persistence to graduate and reach goals beyond graduation.

College Council
The School of Sustainability College Council works to foster a greater
sense of community within the School of Sustainability. By implementing
a number of social engagement opportunities, the College Council strives
to build a meaningful connection between our students and the School
of Sustainability, the ASU campus and the greater Valley community.
Through collaboration with our faculty and staff, College Council aims to
enhance faculty-student relations and represent our student body to the
Undergraduate Student Government and to the School of Sustainability. Membership is open to all School of
Sustainability students, and elections for leadership positions are held every November. Additional information
can be found at sos.asu.edu/clubs.
Ambassadors
The School of Sustainability Ambassadors group is made up of student leaders who assist in recruitment
and retention efforts for the college. The Ambassadors represent the student perspective to future students,
parents and the community at-large. They also serve as resources to current sustainability students and help
connect these students to the college through programs and events. Interviews for Ambassador positions are
conducted in late spring. Students interested should watch for the call for applications in the SOS advising
e-newsletter. A list of current Ambassadors can be found at sos.asu.edu/ambassadors.
