Villanova’s Student Sustainability Committee is making strides toward a greener campus
Posted by Green Philly on October 8, 2024
From thrift stores to zero-waste events, Villanova’s SSC is focused on reducing waste.
At Villanova University, students are taking the lead in promoting sustainability through the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), an extension of the university’s Sustainable Leadership Council. The SSC provides students the opportunity to drive sustainability initiatives and waste reduction projects across campus.
Lily Herron and Colleen Stroud, both Villanova seniors, have been involved with the SSC since their freshman year after meeting at an orientation event.
One of the most popular SSC initiatives is the Wildcat Thrift, a pop-up thrift store held once a semester. Students and organizations sell clothes, helping to reduce the waste stream while promoting a circular economy.
