Student Sustainability Liaisons, 2025 - 2026
by Iris Hung
The Student Sustainability Liaison Program, initiated by the Sustainability Initiative, empowers students to research current practices, identify opportunities, and champion meaningful change within their own departments. This year, 17 liaisons across 10 departments joined the Liaison program. If you’re interested in advancing sustainability within your department, reach out to sustainability@cmu.edu to learn more.
We recently sat down with two liaisons to hear about their experience firsthand: Hannah Hudson, a sophomore in Biological Sciences, and Violet McCullough, a first-year student in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Both have completed the bulk of their departmental research and are now turning their focus toward synthesizing insights and developing concrete recommendations for their departments.
