The Climate Equity and Resilience Summer Institute (CESRI), formerly called the Science Justice Summer School, is a three-week summer program for current and recent graduate students (master’s, doctoral, and post-doc) studying any discipline who are interested in learning about climate resilience and justice from diverse perspectives. The program will be hosted from June 16 through July 4, 2025, split between the UW Seattle campus and UW Pack Forest. 

UW graduate student Jonathan Chen has created a UW Food System COVID-19 Survey to better understand how COVID-19 has impacted people's access to food on UW Seattle’s campus. Anyone affiliated with UW Seattle who is 18 or over is invited to participate and enter a drawing to win a $50 gift card to the University Bookstore. Documenting your experience during this difficult time can help improve things for the future.
