UW Sustainability Summit 2011

October 24th – 26th 2011
UW Seattle Campus
The UW Sustainability Summit celebrates the University’s leadership and accomplishments in environmental stewardship and sustainability. It provides the opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to find ways to get involved with sustainability on campus, and to learn about the Campus Sustainability Fund, the UW Climate Action Plan, and how our community partners play a role in UW sustainability. 

The Program on the Environment started over a decade ago but has never had its own student organization!  We are looking for environmental studies students (that’s you!) who would like to start something awesome! 

Looks like there are some last-minute spots available in a study abroad program for winter quarter 2012 that looks *extremely* relevant to the interests of PoE students. Have the ability to make some last-minute adjustments in your schedule?
