Students United for Nature (SUN) is a student-led,
student-oriented environmental group at Alma College. SUN promotes environmental
education, environmental awareness, environmental stewardship and activism.
The SUN group has worked closely with the local schools to promote environmental
education and awareness. They work with the local community by organizing
and implementing river cleanups, adopt-a-highway cleanups and tree-planting/green
space plantings.
They have been voted most active and influential student group at Alma College two out of the last five years and have received distinction by the Service Learning Program on campus. In addition to environmental education and activism, SUN promotes outdoor activities and leads two major outdoor weekend trips a year. In the past, this has included white-water rafting in Virginia, cross-country skiing in Northern Michigan and camping along the Great Lakes.
