Applied Sustainability Learning Hub

 

Bring Your Sustainable Idea to Life

 

Welcome to the applied sustainability learning hub! We created this hub to facilitate applied sustainability learning at CU Boulder by connecting students, faculty and staff to each other and the resources they need to use our campus as a living lab. 

Do you have a sustainable idea but don't know where to start? This hub provides ways to get involved and develop your concept with project development, project funding, mentorship, a variety of resources and more.
