Whether it’s hearing award-winning author Ibram X. Kendi speak or learning more about “Braiding Sweetgrass” from Robin Wall Kimmerer, the upcoming Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s (AASHE’s) virtual Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education offers something for everyone.
Thanks to its virtual nature — and Stanislaus State serving as a host institution — everyone with a Stan State email address may attend any of the sessions during the event scheduled Oct. 20-22.
Students from California’s higher education systems will have an opportunity to take part in the first ever virtual two-day “Rise Up! Inaugural California Student Leadership Conference.”
This event will take place Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17 via the online conference platform Whova. The registration deadline is Oct. 13. To register, please visit the California Student Leadership Conference registration site.
Demand for change that has recently been voiced in the streets of America and has been addressed by sustainability advocates for years, has resulted in a first-time collaboration among CSU partners to present “Climate Justice = Social Justice: Exploring the Intersections of People, Planet and Power.”
The virtual event, part of Sustainability Month, is open to everyone and features young social and environmental advocates of color. It begins Monday with a keynote address and Q&A session with Mustafa Santiago Ali from noon-1 p.m.
