ActGreen
ActGreen at UIUC began in November of 2013 when three brilliant minds came together in the Business Instructional Facility (BIF) Atrium in Champaign, IL. Since then, we have become a Clinton Global Initiative University commitment and a registered student organization at UIUC.
Our mission is to increase undergraduate business students' understanding of the connection between their business area of interest and environmental sustainability. We create educational programming and workshops to empower the next generation of global business leaders.
