have shown that integratingsustainability principles into engineering education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, andleadership skills [13], [14]. Additionally, education for sustainable entrepreneurship has beenfound to influence students' attitudes and propensity to act sustainably, although its direct impacton entrepreneurial intention remains limited [15]. This highlights the importance of couplingsystemic knowledge with personal transformative learning to create a balanced and impactfuleducational experience [16] and to equip the future workforce with the skill sets and mindsetsneeded for sustainable development.Despite these benefits, there are significant gaps and challenges in the implementation ofsustainability programs

They will conclude the program by receiving a badge that they can use toshowcase their many experiences and skills.The initial cohort is planned to run from September 2025 to June 2026 to provide sufficient timefor students to engage in trainings and support that will scaffold the identification and executionof their change efforts.In addition to this formalized series of trainings, ambassadors will have the option to pursue twohighly recommended collaborations. During the application phase, ambassadors will beencouraged to recruit a team of colleagues from their institution. However, if ambassadorscannot recruit a team, they will still be welcomed into the cohort and will still receive
