Each year, the COF Center for Sustainability and the Environment offers our students the opportunity to apply for mini-grants in support of research, projects, or initiatives that promote sustainability.
Projects granted will be widely promoted to the COF communities to recognize the importance of student led sustainability initiatives. Public presentations will offer opportunities for the COF community to learn more about how to live and create sustainability.
