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.
Upcoming meeting
November 21, 3:30 p.m.

Our next HuES meeting will be focused on a collaborative 2050 sustainability visioning session, where we will think boldly about a sustainable future for the University of Washington and its community. The outcomes of this session will serve as a foundation for the development of near-term goals, strategies, and actions for the tri-campus as we start to build our new Sustainability Action Plan.
The presentation will be available online via Zoom.
