Partnership for Global Justice Fellowship
The Partnership for Global Justice Fellowship is a prestigious, competitive opportunity for Molloy University students, administered by the Sustainability Institute since the spring 2022 semester. Endowed by a private donor, this fellowship provides students with a transformative experience, guiding them in identifying and addressing environmentally and socially harmful decision-making on Long Island.
Each fellowship recipient develops and completes a project that aligns with one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), tackling issues at a local level. Since its inception, Molloy students completing this fellowship have contributed to projects that reflect Molloy University’s mission of service and commitment to regional social and environmental challenges.

- Developing high school-level sustainability curricula (SDG 4: Quality Education)
