Backed by the full support of Northeastern University’s vast global ecosystem, Mills College is focused on creating an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable future for all.

Drive positive change for a just, sustainable future

The Center for Transformative Action brings together students, faculty, industry, and community partners to address real‑world sustainability challenges through collaborative, equity‑driven work. It strengthens learning—through co‑ops, research, and sustainability education—so students develop the systems thinking and values‑based leadership needed for a just future. This shared, practice‑based approach continues Mills’ legacy of innovative, community‑rooted education.
