Student Environmental Communication Network
The Student Environmental Communication Network (SECN) at Princeton University trains students to produce media stories based on their explorations of sustainability. Whether through internships in the Office of Sustainability, as participants in the SECN academic course, or the SECN Summer Intensive training workshop, students investigate the nuances of what is "green" and learn the technical skills to communicate them.
