On Sunday, Feb. 16, the Pittsburgh Youth Leaders in Sustainability network — led by members of CMU’s Sustainability Initiative team — hosted Pathways to Impact: Careers in Sustainability. Students from universities across Pittsburgh gathered to connect with 10 different employers from sustainability-related organizations to network, discuss goals and challenges, and explore potential career options.
Network founders Aleena Siddiqui, a junior in the College of Engineering, College of Engineering senior Purva Bommireddy, and Mellon College of Science senior Camden Johnson invited members from organizations like Allegheny CleanWays, Three Rivers Waterkeeper, and Western PA Conservancy to meet with students and share how sustainability impacts their careers.
