HuES

Huskies for Equitable Sustainability (HuES) is a student-based program by UW Sustainability to connect students with sustainability projects that have an impact on campus, as well as a forum to connect and learn more about sustainability.

This spring, the UW Earth Day Committee - made up of passionate and driven students - was the driving force behind a dynamic week of programming that celebrated sustainability in all forms. Through weekly planning meetings with my supervisor Emily and coworker Kellie, we co-created interactive and educational events that raised visibility for intersectional sustainability and highlighted the importance of environmental action.

Huskies for Equitable Sustainability (HuES) was launched this Fall by UW Sustainability to provide opportunities for UW students to engage in intersectional sustainability efforts on campus. The monthly meetings are open to all UW students across the tri-campus, and provide an inclusive space to learn about sustainability initiatives and inform UW Sustainability's goals.  Meetings are held both in-person and over zoom, and recorded for later viewing to provide opportunities for as many students as possible to connect.
