The Sustainability Showcase Series

The CSL will be hosting twelve Sustainability Showcases this spring to make connections between faculty research, personal and professional interest and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals while broadening the discourse surrounding sustainability. Speakers are invited to give a thirty-minute talk, answer questions and hang around to mingle with attendees.

This year, the theme for the showcase series is: What is your "Big Idea" that will advance sustainability in the 21st century?

Events are on Fridays 12 - 1:30 pm, are held in various locations in the HUB and include lunch for RSVP'd guests.

The dates for the showcases are as follows: 
Jan 18, 25 | Feb 1, 8, 15, 22 | Mar 15, 22, 29 | Apr 5, 12, 19
