Get Ready for Sustainability Week 2019
April 04, 2019
During the week of April 15-19, the Webster University Sustainability Coalition and Sustainability Office are partnering to host the third annual, campus-wide Sustainability Week.
Sustainability Week provides ample opportunities to get educated on and think critically about the most prevalent issues being faced by our natural world.
The week will be comprised of a wide variety of events and opportunities for the campus community to make a greater connection with our campus’ built and natural habitats.
