Help Create the Future of Tech
The Sustainability House partners with the Office of Sustainability and Resilience and a wide array of faculty and staff across campus. Students will be able to meet and connect with others in the Husky community who share common goals and interests. In the inaugural 2024-2025 academic year, residents can help shape the long-term vision of the community, including building opportunities and selecting a permanent name for the Living Learning Community.
Together, we will learn and grow this community in the inspiring natural backdrop of the Keweenaw Peninsula and the innovative spirit of Michigan Tech.
If you have a passion for sustainability or someone who wants to take a leadership role within the Husky community, we encourage you to join the Sustainability House Living Learning Community!
