UW Sustainability's weekly events banner 2017

Take a big breath and sit back, midterm season is finally over!

Perhaps it's just me, but I often get overwhelmed by the sheer number of events and activities there are to do on campus. It's a double-edged sword as there are so many fascinating speakers, seminars, and fairs to attend, but it's hard to narrow down exactly which ones to pay attention to from the never-ending list.

Have no fear! Every week, we will compile the top events that you should attend around campus. For a more comprehensive update on upcoming events, check out our full schedule of events. You can even subscribe to get weekly emails on all sustainability events around UW!
