Sam Kocurek received the 2025 Michigan Difference Student Leadership MLEAD Sustainability Award - “Sam has been heavily involved in sustainability efforts through his work at the Office of Campus Sustainability (OCS) and in Nature Rx. Through OCS, Sam has been integral in the set-up and functioning of a reuse shop for lab equipment. This program has rehomed 6,500 lbs of lab equipment since its launch in June 2024. Sam also helped organize an Inaugural Sustainable Lab Summit that was rooted in connecting researchers to further their knowledge about reducing the impact of a laboratory. Sam’s help with this summit came after he planned a first-of-its-kind Nature for Wellness Symposium. This symposium was part of his work with Nature Rx where he helps foster an appreciation for connecting with the natural environment as a means of mental and physical health.”
