EarthLab Faculty Steering Committee
The Faculty Steering Committee is comprised of UW faculty who facilitate EarthLab’s work by advising staff on strategic priorities, programming, new ideas and feedback for convenings, collaborations and other possible activity. They foster connections across and beyond UW as ambassadors for EarthLab, and together form a community of learning about new methods of connecting scholarship with society to address environmental challenges.
