2025 - Eagles Sustainability Competition

The Eagles Sustainability Competition challenges teams of 2-3 undergraduate students to propose solutions to a sustainability-related issue on Boston College’s campus. A collaboration between the Schiller Institute, Carroll School of Management, and Undergraduate Government Boston College (UGĻć½¶Šć), the competition partners with a campus department each year to develop the challenge prompt. In 2025, the Office of Sustainability served as the campus partner, tasking students toĢżre-envision the office. Teams were required to be interdisciplinary, with at least two different academic majors represented, and to present data-driven solutions. Final presentations were 15-minute pitches judged by faculty, staff, and alumni. Learn more about the winning teams below.
