Mission Statement
Students United for Sustainability (SUS) is Cal State LA’s chapter of the California Student Sustainability Coalition (CSSC). It is SUS’s goal to educate students on environmental issues, to organize events that engage and empower students to live a sustainable lifestyle, and to promote policies geared towards a carbon-neutral Cal State L.A.
History/Achievements
SUS grew out of the former Earth LA. ELA started as a small campus club founded by former student Matthew Tiffany and had its first meeting in the first week of the fall of 2007. Our membership has slowly increased, and as an organization, we have been able to make a positive impact throughout the CSULA community through our continued efforts in educating the CSULA student body and progressively instituting change. In the Fall of 2011 a student Kristina Davtyan founded CSULA’s CSSC chapter and Earth LA became known as SUS, continuing the legacy of bringing positive change in the area of sustainability. There are many things we want to make happen on campus, so if you’re interested in seeing this campus become more sustainable, please join us in our meetings.
