Group for Environmental Management and Sustainability (GEMS)

How do we work?

GEMS is a primarily online society, aimed at online students that cannot access an ARU campus regularly. We host online events, like nature bingo and guest speakers, so our distance learners don't miss out.

Past events:

Guest speakers, clay and pizza night, plant growing competitions, eco-craft sessions, Think Global, Act Local series in collaboration with Cambridge Sustainability Society

Current competitions:
