The Sustainable Industrial Design Initiative is a student-centered effort to instill the values of circular design and implement circular strategies in the Industrial Design program at DAAP. We seek to educate and inspire designers to change the way they think about Industrial Design as a connected part of the world and society.

We are a student group on campus that focuses on promoting recycling, environmental awareness campaigns directed at UC students, as well as volunteering and partnering with many non-profit environmental agencies throughout Cincinnati.
Our Story
Clean Up Cincy (CUC) is Cincinnati's largest student-led beautification program. Founded in January 2015 by a small group of motivated UC students, CUC has grown from 350 to over 1,000 volunteers each semester.
Our Mission
We strive to engage and impassion every student and resident alike in the effort to keep Cincinnati safe and clean. Each spring and fall semester, we have our volunteers travel to work sites around the Cincinnati area to pick up trash on the streets.
Our Vision
We seek to inspire a sense of pride and accountability for keeping the city beautiful by taking the time to pick up trash, serve in other sustainability efforts, and invite others to do the same.
We are a multidisciplinary professional organization at the University of Cincinnati. We aim to connect students with the resources to make an impact in fields related to Environmental Engineering.
SEE is an organization that is serving to:
Connect our members with professionals and each other
Educate our members on current topics and trends in the industry
Prepare our members by cultivating the skills needed to succeed in their professional careers.
The Society of Environmental Engineers is an organization that unites students from various backgrounds with a common interest in Environmental Engineering. Our club seeks to enhance student's understanding of Environmental Engineering while supporting member's development academically, professionally, and socially. SEE hosts bi-weekly meetings where we host industry professionals, professors, past alumni and others to discuss topics related to Environmental Engineering. We also participate in volunteering events such as monthly water sampling with the Mill Creek Alliance. SEE occasionally hosts socials for students, professors, and past alumni to meet as well as off-campus field visits to local Environmental Engineering related projects, plants, or companies.
