The SSC is a student-led organization that promotes sustainable habits among students throughout campus. They organize specific events such as the annual Farm Harvest Festival (link below) aimed at raising awareness and educating all attendees about sustainable practices. The event takes place at the CWRU-operated Squire Valleevue Farm, and includes things like herbs planting, mushroom production demonstration, fresh food cooking demonstrations, knitting, beeswax lip balm making, and other activities. Throughout the event, the SSC members educate attendees about the campus Farm Food Program, which helps supply local food to campus dining halls. It is heavily attended by students. SSC also comes in contact with peers through other programs and tabling events.
