Dear Student

Wakefield College is committed to sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment. As part of this commitment, we are proud Members of the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), the sustainability champion for the UK tertiary education sector. We’re working hard to develop our sustainability programme with their help.
 
What is EAUC Membership and how will it benefit you?

Up until now, only members of staff have been able to benefit from the services included in our EAUC Membership. However, as part of our commitment to sustainability and to help staff and students work together better on environmental issues, the EAUC is now welcoming our students and staff at the Student Unioninto our Membership. This access is aimed for those with a real interest in sustainability issues, such as:

  • Learners with an academic interest in sustainability or environmental studies
  • Students who are engaged in sustainability through their student union, as a green champion or an active member of an institution’s own sustainability project.

This access will sit under our existing EAUC Membership, so you can register and benefit from all the resources they offer at no cost to you. The EAUC offers Members a wide range of unrivalled sustainability resources, courses and events at discounted rates, online learning and webinars, tailored information and sustainability news, and even a certificate of Membership. For a full list of EAUC benefits and services, visit www.eauc.org.uk/membership_benefits.

How to sign up

To take advantage of our existing Membership, create a free EAUC account by registering on the EAUC website using your institutional email address – simply select our institution in the drop-down box, making sure you use ‘student’ or ‘student union’ as your job title and type. You will then have access to all* Member-only resources, discounts and services!

Please do pass this onto any other sustainability-minded students that you think could also benefit from our EAUC Membership.

Together we’re stronger!

Sustainability is a key issue for all organisations today, whether in the private or public sector, and in whatever your chosen career path maybe. Here at Wakefield College, we want to encourage you to take advantage of this free resource. Not only will it help you with your current studies or engagement with sustainability, but it will also help prepare you for your future in the workplace.
 
Wakefield College is a community, and we all have a role to play in sustainability. By taking advantage of our EAUC Membership, staff and students can work alongside each other making us stronger together!

Regards,

Julie Thornton, Utilities Officer, Estates
