Regardless of their major, today’s students will live and work in a world that must address sustainability: the ability to achieve economic prosperity and a decent quality of life for the people of our planet while protecting the natural systems on which we all depend for our basic needs.

As the director of Smith’s Picker Engineering Program has noted, sustainability is not optional; it’s essential. Smith is focusing on issues of sustainability across disciplines. Faculty teach and mentor students in independent and team projects which require creative solutions that assess environmental impact, social policy, and economic interests, as well as functionality.
