Everyone is welcome to attend one or more of the Capstone Conversations (CapCon) scheduled during the week of April 12-16. During these sessions capstone students host small group discussions to share about their experience. 

The PoE Alumni Council (PAC) is proud to support environmental studies students by providing a $500 scholarship to help in the advancement of their academic endeavors. This is an opportunity to showcase what motivated you to pursue a degree in environmental studies. 

Explore environmental, social, and economic impacts of the human relationship with clothing and fashion through the perspective of a diverse group of professionals working in academia, advocacy, arts, business, and science. 

You’re invited to the Sustainability Studio (ENVIR 480) final presentations next Thursday (3/11) from 11:30am – 1pm. Below is the Zoom link (+password!) for our class. The presentation flyer is also attached.
