Get Involved
At the Shi Institute, we’re thankful to have a family of faculty, staff, students and community members who are committed to advancing our work in sustainability, both on campus and across South Carolina.
Interested in joining us on a regular basis or for special events and projects throughout the year? Here are a few opportunities:
Volunteer at the Furman Farm!
The Furman Farm is a ¼ acre organic practice farm with a comprehensive composting program. The farm is largely student run under the supervision of Bruce Adams, Furman Farm’s Manager. The composting program handles all of the pre- and post-consumer waste from Furman's dining hall and also processes much of the university’s landscaping waste. For more information, contact Mary Frances Shelato at maryfrances.shelato@furman.edu
Join the Sustainability Leaders Initiative
The exclusive Sustainability Leadership Initiative represents a robust interdisciplinary stakeholder network of South Carolina leaders with the knowledge, skills, and desire to collaborate and support each other in identifying pathways and executing solutions for a sustainable future.
