Pratt is dedicated to the education of the next generation of leaders in sustainable practices. The Pratt Sustainability Center is committed to integrating sustainability into teaching and learning across disciplines. We provide faculty and students with resources, training, and support to embed sustainability into coursework and studio practice, ensuring that all students develop a strong foundation in sustainable thinking.
Departmental Sustainability Coordinators (DSCs)
The Departmental Sustainability Coordinators (DSCs) are faculty members who serve as liaisons between the Sustainability Center and their departments. They work to integrate sustainability into curricula, share best practices, and support faculty in developing courses and projects that align with Pratt’s sustainability goals. DSCs also help connect students with sustainability-focused resources, materials, and learning opportunities.
