Make a difference with student-driven environmental projects

At the Environmental Center, students lead the charge in creating a more environmentally and socially responsible world. Through hands-on projects that tackle critical environmental and social issues, our programs empower students to foster change on campus and beyond. From advancing sustainability initiatives to building lasting community partnerships, students will find meaningful opportunities to make a real impact—and be part of a movement for a better future.

Our collaborative efforts are guided by FLC’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan, driving sustainable, positive change across campus and throughout the wider community. The Environmental Center connects students with opportunities to grow, learn, and lead, building a culture of environmental responsibility that radiates across the region.
