Sustainability@UC Week 2025
Sustainability@UC Week 2025 was developed in collaboration with the Office of Sustainability, the School of Environment and Sustainability (SEaS), Student Government, and many other organizations across UC, which allowed for the creation of a more extensive and wide-reaching program of events than in years past. Events included a campus opportunities fair, a collaborative grant planning workshop, a sustainable art show, and a film festival. View the schedule of events for Sustainability@UC Week 2025 here!
This year’s guest speaker was Dr. Niall Kirkwood, from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, who gave a talk titled Beyond Brownfields: Nature, Design and Urban Regeneration in the Post-Industrial Landscape.
