Course-Related Engagement
As a student: Through course projects, capstones, and independent studies, students can collaborate with faculty members and the Office of Sustainability to make significant contributions to advancing sustainability at the College. Learn more about classes with sustainability content and check out our database reported in our AASHE STARS report highlighting courses with sustainability themes.
As Faculty: Check out the campus datasets available (see below) or contact the Office of Sustainability (email sustainability@lafayette.edu) to see if there is a way to incorporate real world examples into your coursework. If you have a course not listed in our course database that engages with the campus as a living lab and sustainability themes, please contact the Office of Sustainability to have it added.
Research and Special Project Opportunities
As a student: Lafayette offers opportunities to participate in sustainability research across 25 departments. A database of faculty members conducting sustainability-related research can be found here.
Students or student groups with research questions or proposed projects can use this database to find a faculty member who has aligned research interests. Students can also use the research questions database to learn about potential upcoming projects or opportunities to tackle something new.
As Faculty: Faculty can add potential research projects and research questions to the research questions database. Faculty can use the campus datasets (see below) for research purposes and partner with Facilities staff to design and implement operational projects to promote sustainable practices on campus. 
These projects can include volunteer opportunities, student group connections, and campus service projects. If you are faculty already engaging with sustainability research on campus and not included here, please contact the Office of Sustainability to be added.
