Each year, regional winners are selected from PRME-affiliated institutions around the world, with top teams advancing to a global cohort of finalists. Being selected among this group highlights not only excellence in execution, but also a commitment to shaping the future of sustainable leadership.

Our Recognition

Being named both a North American Regional Winner and a global finalist reflects the strength of student-led work that connects academic learning with practical, measurable impact. It highlights the importance of experiential education in transforming ideas into action through student-led projects such as Brewed Beauty, ReduX, SeQUESTer, and InvestEd, which directly address real-world environmental, social, and economic challenges.
