The Pando Sustainability Awards

Meet the ingenious innovators behind community-based projects developed by students and instructors implementing innovative solutions to help meet Southland sustainability goals.

Hosted by Caltech at their Resnick Sustainability Institute, The Pando Awards will spotlight the 21 Pando sustainability projects developed over the 2024/25 school year -- astonishingly, more than 80% of which are ongoing and making an actual difference in the real world.
