First-Year Presentations

Student stands at front of class to present her slides to first-year seminar class. Partnering with PittServes, the Office of Sustainability and Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, MCSI has trained student volunteers to provide sustainability presentations within first-year seminars.

These presentations are a great way to introduce students to the range of sustainability initiatives and the many ways they can engage with sustainability on campus.

Instructors may request an in-class or virtual presentation through this form.
