The Sustainable Communities Collaborative (SCC) facilitates engaged scholarship projects as part of the outreach mission of the Sustainability Institute. The SCC connects Penn State faculty, students, and staff with local communities to address sustainability challenges through an engaged, collaborative effort. Each project is facilitated and involves faculty expertise and students from across the academic spectrum, co-led by a key community leader and the University’s SCC staff, to help develop and support thriving, healthy communities and advance student learning about the scholarship of sustainability.

At the end of each semester, projects and partnerships are celebrated with an Expo that brings together the community, university, and students to share their experiences, opportunities, and sustainability achievements.

The Expo is free and open to the public on April 27th, 2022 from 5-7 PM at 3 Dots Downtown.  RSVP is not required.
