At the University of Washington, many students are leading the charge in reimagining how we take equitable action on climate change. Join us this winter for a cozy, interactive social mixer designed to strengthen connections among UW students passionate about climate justice.
Together, we’ll explore topics that matter most to you and set the stage for a spring event (like the one we hosted last year) that centers student perspectives on building a just and equitable climate future.
This 1.5-hour gathering is an opportunity for students to explore climate justice topics, forge new connections, and help shape the conversations that will guide future grassroots conversations to build a stronger climate community, where student voices take center stage.

FAQs
What is the goal of this event?
One of EarthLab’s goals is to connect people, ideas, and knowledge from across academic disciplines, sectors, communities and more to develop lasting and equitable solutions to climate change. While we’ve hosted several convening events for faculty, we want to create a space where students from all disciplines can come together and connect on topics they care about. EarthLab is committed to bridging that gap, understanding that this event will be the first of many efforts to do so.
