Green Living at Georgia Southern Georgia Southern’s Center for Sustainability is funded primarily by a $10 student sustainability fee on the Statesboro Campus and hosts a variety of programs and events throughout the year. Our primary mission is to increase education and engagement in sustainability issues both on campus and in the community. We want to make sure that students know about Georgia Southern’s “True Blue and Green Too” culture of sustainability right from the start, so we encourage you to get involved in big and small ways this spring! To the right are a few ways to get involved!
