Texas A&M University
Tier2-1: Student Group

As a representative of Texas A&M,the Environmental Issues Committee (EIC) actively strives to provide and support: programs which enhance environmental education and awareness, programs which reduce the community's impact on the environment, and promote sound environmental legislation on and off campus, in order to improve quality of life. One Love (onelove.tamu.edu) is a student group dedicated to environmental and social sustainability. One Love's Mission Statement: "We are a group of like-minded individuals dedicated to finding and showing others the beauty in life every day through loving others, yourself, and the world around you. We put on events and programs that enhance the overall wellness and satisfaction of life as well as help people learn to care for and respect the world we live in. We want to help people weave a common thread of love throughout all aspects of their life." A few of One Love’s sustainability successes include: One Love's Environmental Committee helped to pass the Green Fund Initiative on Texas A&M's campus as a contributing member of Texas A&M's Sustainability Council. This initiative provides funding to all students, faculty, and staff who wish to start a program on campus that will help the environment; One Love's Community Outreach Committee has helped to raise awareness of social injustice and has helped to mitigate these issues by volunteering in the community. The Sustainable Agriculture Student Association's (SASA) (studentfarm.tamu.edu) mission is to create a means for Texas A&M students to experience, explore, share, and learn about issues relating to sustainable agriculture. The purpose of the organization is to help develop a student farm program to supply cafeterias on campus. SASA will serve as a vibrant network of individuals interested in sustainable agriculture. We want to attract talented and bright individuals to pursue careers in sustainable agriculture. Students involved with SASA will have the opportunity to volunteer at the A&M Student Farm.
