What makes a sustainable community? How can we instill in younger generations a sense of hope and optimism in a finite world?  We will be exploring these questions and more in EDUC 401K:  Education for Sustainability, an interactive seminar through the Pipeline Project.    

Washington Bus Summer Fellowship Program Description:

The Washington Bus Fellowship is an intensive, ten-week long leadership development program. Fellows spend the summer in Seattle, learning the fundamentals of grassroots organizing, public policy, community building, and social justice, through hands-on democracy.The Fellowship is a challenging and transformative experience that prepares young people to be Washington State’s next generation of civic leaders. 

Due to the busy December that many on the Landscape Architechture Advisory Committee are encountering and some unforeseen conflicts, the Scan|Design Advisory Luncheon that was scheduled for TODAY is postponed. Please look out for an invitation after the new year for a meeting to discuss the Fellowships as well as the possibility of funding for faculty travel.
