USGBC Students and Emerging Professionals are USGBC programs working to integrate students and young professionals into the green building movement.
USGBC Students are college and university-based student groups, where students from any discipline come together to learn about and advance USGBC’s mission to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. For more information visit the USGBC website
Emerging Professionals are organized as committees of local USGBC chapters and affiliates. These local chapter committees are responsible for organizing educational and networking events, as well as coordinating volunteer service efforts and promoting USGBC to their peers, the newest members of the sustainability community. If you are interested in participating in WGBA's Emerging Professional Committee, please contact Elizabeth Hittman.
