Creating Change to Meet Global Needs
Creating effective change in the face of the world’s pressing sustainability, energy, and environmental needs is the driving purpose of the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE).
We do that by bringing together faculty, students, and staff from across campus to focus on research solutions, campus sustainability, and education and outreach — all through an interdisciplinary lens.
Join Us!
Sustainability is for everyone! iSEE is committed to fostering a culture of sustainability in the Champaign-Urbana community and beyond.
