Sustainability Case Competition

This is your idea for a greener future.

How will you change the world?

Join the UASU's SustainSU unit, in partnership with the Environmental Studies Student Association (ESSA), on February 7 2026 for our very first Sustainability Case Competition!

Hoping to inspire students to think critically and creatively about the real-world sustainability challenges, we hope to highlight the importance of sustainability here in the UASU.

Teams of up to 4 students from any faculty or discipline are invited to come together to solve a challenge provided by our event organizer, and present their solutions to a panel of judges. The winning team will go home with our $500 grand prize!

All teams will be provided the case question to be solved 24 hours before the competition officially begins, and then race to solve it, create a proposal, and deliver a presentation during the event.

Register now until February 5!
