Supported by Facilities Operations, SustainUs is a student-run organization that promotes sustainability on campus as well as implements various sustainable practices. The Instagram page promotes different ways students can practice being sustainable as a college student. Many events are held throughout the academic school year such as campus cleanups, farmers market, earth week activities including speakers talking about different fields of sustainability. Bi-weekly meetings occur for general members or any student at Bryant that would like to learn about sustainability. These meetings include training on different topics regarding sustainability such as learning about a vegan lifestyle, reducing your carbon footprint, single use plastics, recycling, thrifting, and many more.
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (1st program):
SustainUS' target audience is any student at Bryant University whether they join the club or not. Everyone could use knowledge about environmentalism and sustainability, so by sharing different facts and information on our Instagram page we are able to reach a larger target audience.

The Finance and Marketing faculty provide support to Enactus, a national organization that is founded upon many pillars, sustainability being one of them.

While the whole program is not focused on sustainability, it is now a significant part of the program.
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (2nd program):
Enactus targets college students that are willing to use their business backgrounds to promote community service projects to promote sustainability both on and off our college campus. Our goal is to improve the surrounding community and create opportunities for those in and outside of our club.
