Presidio encourages the creation of student clubs as an extension of the students’ learning experience. Clubs are typically formed in response to students’ interests in specific areas like clean technologies, green building, social venture finance, and equity in sustainability. Club-organized events, trips, and projects are planned throughout the semester and provide students with an opportunity to dive deeper into areas they feel passionately about. Club members benefit from expanding their professional networks, gaining unique professional experience, and working collaboratively with other students.
Some examples of current Student Clubs include:
Net Impact, Presidio Chapter
