As long as your chosen school has architectural or engineering degrees you can always start a new chapter of the U.S. Green Building Club. Colleges often have funds for educational clubs and will assign a professors to help guide you Through competitions. At least that’s how it worked at the University of Connecticut. (Plus it looks good on the resume)

Architecture / engineering / and sustainability overlap in the world of geopolymers. Really interesting work in this field is being done by the Universidad Catolica San Pablo, Arequipa, Peru, and the Institut Geopolymere, Saint-Quentin - France.

Best wishes!
