Join us for our annual Climate Summit! The summit is a yearly event organized by Project Earth to discuss climate-related issues and bring together people in the community with a shared passion for climate justice. The summit will include a panel of guest speakers as well as workshops and tables created by EHS students and organizations. The event is a great opportunity for students interested in environmental activism to connect with one another and organizations that work in this area. Refreshments will also be available.
