About the Network

Penn State’s Smeal Sustainability Alumni Network serves our alumni who have a personal or professional interest in sustainability. This network represents an exciting opportunity to actively connect alumni back to Smeal in effort to advance a collaborative vision for sustainability education and practice, both in the classroom and in various industries we all support. The network aims to connect Smeal alumni with a shared passion for sustainability by providing a platform to facilitate engagement with current Smeal students, faculty, and with each other.

The Smeal Sustainability Alumni Network seeks to connect alumni with all their unique experiences and backgrounds, so whether you are a newcomer or experienced professional, and whether or not you have “sustainability” in your job title – this network is for you! As the concept of sustainability grows increasingly high on business’ radars and continues to be looked to for solutions to today’s biggest challenges, we welcome all alumni who identify the triple bottom line among their values, job descriptions, and future career goals.

Events are organized in conjunction with the Smeal Office of Alumni Relations and serve as a channel to collaborate, exchange ideas and advice, provide support to current students, as well as provide an outlet for the critical conversations surrounding sustainability in modern business. Join our Smeal Sustainability Alumni Network to become part of a community committed to the advancement of sustainable solutions as we strive to solve some of the most crucial challenges of our era!
