For many who enroll in ASU's School of Sustainability, making a difference in the world is a top priority. The School allows students to design their own academic path based on the type of the career they want, whether it be in energy, food, waste, policy, economics, or international development.

"My dream is to help save the world and make a difference," says freshman Kate Tiffany, a Phoenix native who is studying sustainability and international development. "I’m really happy to be involved in a community that’s really passionate about the environment, and we all love what we’re doing and feel strongly about sustainability. I’m excited to be here."
