Council Officers

Mahsa Kazempour - Council Chair

Associate Professor of Science Education & Chair of the Penn State Berks Sustainability Council

I created and led the campus Sustainability Team since spring 2015 and now serve as the Chair of the recently renamed Sustainability Council. My passion is leading change, locally and globally, with the goal of achieving sustainability and social/environmental/economic justice and equity through education, awareness, active engagement, service, and collaboration. I believe every step and action counts. Visit my BiSC3 Environmental Science course Environmental Awareness & Community Action Project (EACAP) webpage to learn about one way in which I incorporate sustainability in my courses.
