The UNM Sustainability Corps is an academic year-long student employment program established in 2026 that combines professional development with hands-on, campus-based sustainability work to achieve goals outlined in the UNM Sustainability Strategic Plan. This team is housed in the Office of Sustainability and will work with campus partners to support projects connected to areas such as a waste reduction, food systems, ecological services, outreach and engagement, and other sustainability-related topics.
