Members of the Sustainability and Social Justice community love to get involved – both in the classroom and beyond.
When you become part of our community, you’ll encounter numerous opportunities to supplement your coursework with co-curricular experiences that provide new avenues for learning and enjoyment. Student organizations reflect the passions and interests of the Clark student body; as you pursue a longstanding hobby – or test out a new one – you’ll find yourself surrounded by likeminded individuals eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm. Along the way, you’ll form new friendships with peers of diverse intellectual and cultural backgrounds.
You can participate in valuable co-curricular activities focused on topics such as technological literacy, current affairs, and cultural exploration, which help supplement the classroom experience and foster a sense of community among students. The skills you gain through these activities – including collaboration, time management, and leadership – will benefit you during your time at the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice and long after.

The Student Association holds regular meetings which are open to the entire department.
SMILE (Students Making an Inclusive Learning Environment)
A committee within the Sustainability and Social Justice Student Association that was formed in 2014, SMILE is a student-led initiative based on the recognition that diversity and inclusion are fundamental to academic success. Through evaluations, workshops, dialogues, community-building activities, and advocacy, SMILE aims to foster a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming learning environment for all students.
