Students

The 2011 Students’ Guide to Sustainable Living at Stanford includes current updates from students and the Office of Sustainability, incorporating input from sustainability professionals, student groups, faculty departments, and staff organizations. Endorsed by the Freshman Dean’s Office (Undergraduate Advisory & Research) and sent electronically to each incoming student, this guide will be presented during the orientation events this fall.
