People are the main asset of any community. As a community of students, faculty, administration, staff and alumni, we define ourselves through a key set of values and objectives: promoting businesses that enhance progress and well-being, supporting diversity and global understanding, encouraging sustainable development and preserving natural resources.
IE University has 30 international offices across de globe. Each office serves as a point of contact with the local IE community whether it is with candidates, students, alumni, parents, institutions, or companies. Covering all continents, IE’s offices organize events and activities to keep the community engaged and connected. Even in times of Covid, following the rules and restrictions that each country or city has in place, some offices have managed to offer students and alumni a space to share and stay connected.
Students are integral to advancing sustainability at IE University and clubs are instrumental to the IE University student experience.
Among the many clubs on campus, there are several dynamic groups that allow students to participate in community engagement activities, host awareness events, and provide peer education and outreach about local and global issues of concern related to sustainability.
To have an even greater impact on campus at IE University and beyond, these clubs have each taken on a specific focus for 2020, related to this year’s goal of responsible consumption: water, paper, energy, plastic, fashion or food.
Some of the projects that we have been sponsoring and supporting through the Sustainability Office include vertical farming, urban farms, replanting new species or an upcoming waste management by one of our faculty in our Segovia campus.
