Welcome back to campus, Huskies! We’re excited to share a couple of seminar courses that connect to environmental justice and training the next generation of environmental leaders.
ENVIR 386 (1 CR)
Environmental Justice Seminar | Weds 4:30-5:30 | Wallace 012 or Zoom
Undergraduate seminar co-taught by Program on the Environment and EarthLab
Students can expect to hear from presenters who will speak on environmental justice from a variety of contexts, including public health, conservation, policy, industry, community organizing, and more. The first confirmed speaker is Isabel Carrera Zamanillo, Community Education Coordinator at Front and Centered, who will present on Sept. 25.
SEFS 550 A (2 CR)
Current Perspectives and Opportunities in Freshwater Science | Tues 3:30-4:50 | Thomson 234
A graduate seminar part of the Future Rivers National Research Traineeship program
This course is designed to introduce graduate students to the wide variety of research and employment opportunities that exist and that can build off a degree in water sciences. We have secured a range of guests from federal, state, and city agencies, non-profits, and some of the top consulting companies in the region. Speakers will come to class in person to share their work, which will include current and past projects, as well as share broadly about their understanding of their field.
