The Sustainability Scholars Program offers several events throughout the year. These events are intended to provide information about the Program, support students interested in applying to the Program, and to share the incredible work produced by the Scholars.

Information sessions

At the January 14 event, attendees will also have an opportunity to hear from former program participants about what you can expect as a Scholar and the benefits of participating in the program in terms of skills development and job prospects.
