Student Clubs
The University of Notre Dame currently has five environmentally-focused clubs for you to join and become more involved with sustainability happening on and around campus.
Environmental Applications Club
The Environmental Applications Club intends to provide resources to those across all colleges who are interested in developing ideas that benefit the environment, especially those ideas pertaining to the three C's (climate change, conservation, and clean energy). The Environmental Applications Club works toward its goals by:
A) Hosting the annual "C-Prize" competition - a start-up competition where participants pitch their ideas to secure funding from private investors.
B) Inviting speakers to discuss current environmental issues that they are dealing with in their respective professional field.
C) Convening in regular meetings of the whole Club to assist in the development and promotion of ideas and disseminate resources.
D) Connecting members with each other, alumni, and others across campus and the community to promote mutually beneficial relationships.
