About the 2018 PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies
Please join the PSEG ISS Green Teams for their final presentations; enjoy a day of innovation and celebration of all their hard work. Over the course of the summer 60 students from across the North East have worked with Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, municipalities, and companies to forge the path of sustainability. This year is the largest the program has been to date with 12 interdisciplinary teams. Together they have successfully implemented recycling/composting programs, installed solar panels, coded a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) website, created eco-friendly community education outreach, and much more. These undergraduate students solve extraordinary problems, taking from their past experiences and learn to apply new and inventive ways to their repertoire.
