Tuck Student Initiative for Decarbonization (TSID) is a student-led initiative founded within the Revers Center for Energy, Sustainability and Innovation, in partnership with Tuck Sustains to support hands-on learning opportunities for students to understand the full scope of the decarbonization process including baselining scope 1-3 emissions, carbon accounting and reporting, and impact investing. Bringing experts, practitioners, and corporate leaders to campus, TSID fosters deeper understanding of the decisions organizations face in setting targets, tracking progress, and contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon future.
TSID enables students to participate in the carbon transition of their own community, providing participants with experiential learning and community-building benefits in the process.
Mission
To provide experiential learning and community building opportunities that educate students and community members on how to transition businesses and organizations to a sustainable and low-carbon future.
Objectives
The primary objective of TSID is to give students the resources needed to understand, evaluate, and design a path to a low-carbon future for the Tuck community. The three key cornerstones of the effort include:
- Carbon Impact – Ethical, verifiable, mission-consistent emissions reduction
- Student Engagement and Learning – Experiential learning opportunities and student development
- Community Impact – Fostering community connection, growth, and environmental awareness
