This student group is open to all U of M students interested in the sustainability industry or in the Sustainable Systems Management major. We focus on increasing students' sustainable knowledge, sharpening their business acumen, expanding their network with companies in our industry, and building relationships with each other and SSM alumni. We strive to prepare our members to positively impact t
he sustainable industry by equipping them with a competitive edge in the studies of energy efficiency, sustainability, and renewable resources. Our principal activities include monthly meetings to discuss the progress and direction of our efforts in influencing the sustainable use of renewable products and networking with business professionals. We have professionals of the sustainable industry speak to our group, as well as field trips to various companies in the industry. We help students build relationships with businesses in our industry, giving them possible future job opportunities. We also educate and inform others about the sustainable industry, and raise awareness of the Sustainable Systems Management major offered at the University of Minnesota. In addition, the SSM Club is dedicated to promoting energy efficiency, eco-friendly products, and sustainability. The SSM Club is an academic and educational group due to its close relationship with the Sustainable Systems Management major, and its focus is on providing the members with knowledge and business skills that are necessary for success in the sustainable industry. If you are interested in becoming a member of the SSM Club, or learning more about our group, please email Srijana Balasundar at [email protected].
