Take the SGA Sustainability Survey

Posted by Admin On 3:35:00 PM 0 comments
The SGA Sustainability Committee needs your help in gauging campus interest, understanding, and involvement in the area of sustainability at Georgia Tech. The survey (link below) is intended for the entire network of Georgia Tech students, faculty, and administration.


A Grand Challenges team at Georgia Tech called Food Fighters has been working for almost two years now on the problem space of food insecurity on college campuses.

They are conducting an IRB research study to understand underlying reasons why food insecure students do not seek assistance, and are trying to reach students all over campus.


Please fill out this very short survey (~5 minutes) for Food Fighters. They are conducting research that will help reveal key information about food insecurity on college campuses.
