Admissions
Looking for a small, close-knit campus filled with incredible, hands-on learning opportunities? Our Admissions Office can help make Elmira College YOUR place.
A mission at Elmira College is to raise awareness about sustainable best practices and incorporate those practices into every aspect of the campus. We created the Sustainability Leaders initiative to give students a chance to lead in this mission.
We're looking for an outside-the-box thinker from each class year who will contribute to the environmental, social, and financial sustainability of the Elmira College community.
Each Elmira College Sustainability Leader will receive a $1,000 award applied to their annual tuition. An Elmira College Sustainability Leader makes a commitment to the EC community to make sustainability a priority on campus. Award consideration is not limited to specific majors or programs. In addition to a $1,000 award, sustainability leaders will have access to a designated space on campus to work, meet, and convene with each other so that they can share ideas and grow together.
The work the Sustainability Leaders will do is similar to independent research. The award will be automatically renewed each year, provided the scholars make progress toward the following:
Sustainability Leaders must be enrolled full-time and maintain satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their Bachelor's degree to be eligible for the award.
