The Student Sustainability Project Database was created by the Office of Sustainability with the intention of keeping a record of student work in sustainability, environmental studies, or anything having to do with the environment. Many of these final class projects or research projects end up lost as they are not on a public forum where others can access them.
This database allows students and other members of the Vassar community to see a record of the project. Help grow the database by contributing one of your projects.
