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.

Green Jobs Panel
The April Huskies for Equitable Sustainability meeting will be an interactive Green Jobs Panel for students to learn about career pathways in sustainability and connect with professionals in the field. The event will cover two parts, an engaging career workshop covering internships, resumes, and networking followed by a panel discussion with professionals from the public and private sectors. We hope students will feel more confident navigating the environmental field by sharpening their professional development skills and making valuable industry connections to work toward a more sustainable future!
You can also join this meeting by Zoom.
