The Sustainable Communities Collaborative (SCC) connects university faculty, students, and staff with local communities to address sustainability challenges through an engaged, collaborative effort to meet the partnering community鈥檚 sustainability priorities. The SCC networks with its 23 Commonwealth Campuses, leveraging local knowledge, unique programs, and Penn State resources to advance sustainability across the state of Pennsylvania.

An early adopter of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a framework, the SCC works across all colleges and disciplines. The majority of SCC classes involve junior and senior undergraduate students, as well as occasional freshman or graduate classes.  

Since its inception, SCC has involved almost 4,000 students in 350 projects.

During the 2018-19 year, SHC will collaborate with Orange County, Indiana.

Fun Facts about SHC

Indiana University junior, Sarah Murphy, was particularly excited about her outdoor recreation class last fall, as the class included developing a plan to turn the decommissioned Avoca Fish Hatchery into a sustainable recreation site. The outdoor recreation class was one of 20 courses at Indiana University Bloomington participating in the SHC initiative last year. For Sarah Murphy, the project hit close to home. As a native of Lawrence County, Sarah was excited to use her Indiana University coursework to help her home community. 鈥淚t鈥檚 awesome to be able to work with this project because I鈥檓 from here,鈥 she said. 鈥淵ou can see the potential of the site.鈥 Murphy and her fellow students developed a plan that will draw community members to the site for programs that can be sustained economically over time.
