Meetings - Fall 2022 - Wednesdays @ 6pm via Microsoft Teams
This group works on educational resources (e.g. visual presentation, power point, recording, etc.) that can be presented online, in schools, during meetings, and on our website.
Currently, we are working on K-12 presentations and special event presentations.
In addition, many members are working on independent projects - check out the completed ones below! Each semester individuals' presentations are highlighted during a community Sustainability Showcase Night!
If you would like to join or are unable to make the meetings, please reach out to eswakron@gmail.com and we will work something out!
Students of ALL majors can showcase topics they are passionate about!
