Janna Goebel

Janna Goebel is connecting sustainability education to action through community engagement, partnerships, and experiential learning in ASU’s School of Sustainability. She cares deeply about serving the needs of the community through applied, course-based projects, and meaningful real-world interactions between students and partners.

As Faculty Lead for Community Engagement, Janna works across the School of Sustainability, Arizona State University, and external organizations to develop partnerships that advance sustainability goals while creating high-impact learning experiences for students. She collaborates with school leadership, faculty, and staff to identify strategic opportunities for corporate, nonprofit, government, and community partners to engage with the School of Sustainability to advance their shared goals and values. 

Janna serves as a primary point of contact for current and prospective partners interested in working with the School of Sustainability. She helps organizations explore pathways such as course-based projects, capstones, community-engaged research, internships, and workforce development opportunities that connect real-world challenges with student talent and faculty expertise.

Janna teaches undergraduate and graduate sustainability courses, bringing her community-engaged approach directly into the classroom.

Organizations interested in collaborating with the School of Sustainability are encouraged to connect with Janna to explore opportunities for meaningful engagement.
