Campus Sustainability Month is supported by the Association of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). Each October, students at colleges and universities across the nation transform into effective change agents and drivers of sustainability innovation. Events for CSM often include film screenings, public speakers, and other sustainability related activities.
