About

Sustainability is embedded in the curriculum of all fields of study at Portland State, enabling students to design solutions for a better community and world.

In the classroom and through activities on and off campus, students are empowered to "let knowledge serve" and think of the University and community as a living laboratory for urban sustainability practice. We don’t just read about it, we do it—from planting green roofs and tracking transportation systems to studying the equity implications of climate change and evaluating the resilience of our local food system. Sustainability is a campus-wide learning outcome for every major.
