Happy National Selfie Day (June 21)! 📸

SEE student Jacob Nickel is spending his summer studying abroad in France, where he’s diving into sustainable aviation and exploring how the future of air travel can be more environmentally friendly.

Here he is (in the blue jacket & hat) on the Eiffel Tower with friends he’s made along the way—proof that studying abroad is about both learning and unforgettable experiences.

What does engineering look like in action?

For Purdue SEE student Valentina Saenz, it means working directly with community partners to design solutions that improve environmental health and support long-term sustainability. Through EEE 47200: Community-Engaged Engineering and Design, Saenz and her team are collaborating with local organizations, learning how to balance technical design with real-world needs, and building skills that will shape their future careers.

🌍 June 5 is World Environment Day

Our environment impacts every part of our lives—from the air we breathe to the water we rely on. Today is a reminder that protecting it is a shared responsibility.
At Purdue’s School of Sustainability Engineering and Environmental Engineering (SEE), students and researchers are working to solve real-world challenges like water quality, pollution, and sustainable systems. Through an integrated, systems-based approach, they are developing solutions that protect both human and environmental health.

Together, we can build a more sustainable future—for our communities and for generations to come. 💚

From classroom projects to real-world impact, Purdue SEE students are making a difference in their communities.

Senior Lillian Slack is part of a team designing a rain garden with St. Francis Early Learning Academy—combining engineering, sustainability, and education to create a space that benefits both the environment and young learners.

This hands-on experience is preparing her for what’s next: serving in the Peace Corps to support coastal resource management efforts.
