Huskies for Equitable Sustainability (HuES) is a new opportunity for students to actively engage in the UW's sustainability efforts, organized by UW Sustainability and the Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF). We'll be holding monthly sessions open to students from all UW campuses and departments. These sessions will include information about current sustainability efforts across the UW, connections with RSOs and other groups working on sustainability, volunteer opportunities and more. They will also be a venue for you to ask UW staff questions and provide feedback on what you'd like to see happen for sustainability on campus.
You're welcome to join every month or just drop in for one session. We'll post general agendas for each month here. Meetings will be held Thursdays at 3:30 p.m., with a Zoom option as well.
