GREEN PASSPORT PROGRAM: Become an agent for change at home and abroad…

OIP GLOBAL FOOTPRINT GRANTS available for students studying abroad. Sustainability covers a wide array of fields. We are interested in students conducting research on what is being done overseas in terms of sustainability initiatives that could be useful information for students at Ithaca College and elsewhere. Students are encouraged to work with themes with which they are already familiar in order to have a basis for comparison and a knowledge base from which to work.
