What We Care About: Student Conversations on Sustainability
A forum to hear student voices
Solutions to environmental issues can be found in all corners and across all disciplines: Art, Writing, Literature, Economics, Science, Math, Health, Computer Science, History, Fashion, Culinary, and so much more; all voices matter. We want to hear what you are doing to resist obstacles and assist the planet. Bring hands-on and interactive projects and ideas to share perspectives and efforts that together can create change.
A fair-style gathering of creative ideas and ongoing projects on a host of eco-subjects to foster open dialogue, learning, and awareness. Peruse the booths and participate. Light refreshments will be served.
Faculty, please sign your class up to attend or present at a booth:
