The Global Sustainability Resource Center
The Global Sustainability Resource Center (GSRC) is a hub for student leadership and sustainability education. The Resource Center is creating a campus culture of sustainability in which environmental, social, and economic equity considerations inform our academic pursuit and ways of life. The Center supports graduate and undergraduate learning, leadership, and innovation through programs in education, career development, and community building. First incubated by former UC Irvine Environment Institute, the Resource Center is now supported by a partnership among Student Affairs, Division of Undergraduate Education, and the Sustainability Initiative. It is shaped by the input from students, guided by the support of staff, and modeled after many existing sustainability resource centers at other University of California campuses.
