Our Approach to Partnerships:
SLS is an experiential learning program, and partnerships are key to all of our work. SLS collaborates with diverse partners - from communities, nonprofits, government, academia, and business - on key sustainability challenges. We focus especially on building long-term relationships with partners in Atlanta and Georgia. We also collaborate with other units on-campus working to create a sustainable Georgia Tech. We focus especially on implementing the U.N. Sustainable Development goals here at home, through projects advancing four priority issues: Community Health, Equitable & Sustainable Development, Green Infrastructure, and Climate Change & Energy. Through our partnerships, GT students learn to use the knowledge and skills they are acquiring at GT to help "create sustainable communities."
Our Partners:
We have too many partners to list all of them - but here is a list of some of the partners we work with most, through our Partnership Advisory Council, Signature Programs, course partnerships, and ongoing projects.
