Reception

The Sustainability and Conservation Leadership (SCL) Program of Old Dominion University was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It has been educating students since 2017. The VCC is a place for the alumni and current students of the program to interact and share experiences and resources. The VCC aims to increase awareness of the triple challenge of climate change, biodiversity and wildlife loss, and pollution and to develop feasible options to adapt to a changing world in support of thriving communities. The Community of Practice in the VCC seeks to establish a collaborative community of students of Old Dominion University and to create connections with stakeholders from local to global scales. The club focuses on the new leadership required to tackle the many challenges in safeguarding the Earth's life-support system.

If you have been/are a student in ODU's SCL program or are interested in interacting with these students, feel free to join the VCC as a member.
