Earth Day 2021:

RU Alumni Talk Sustainability

More in this section... 

This Earth Day, April 22nd, join alumni of Roosevelt's Sustainability Studies (SUST) program as they talk about the sustainability work they do in their jobs, communities, and personal lives, as well as reflect on the meaning of Earth Day. Since its founding in 2010 as the Chicago area's first sustainability-focused bachelor's degree, the SUST program's more than 100 alumni have pursued a wide variety of career pathways, community and environmental service projects, and creative endeavors.
 
Please join Dr. Mike Bryson, Professor and Director of Sustainability Studies in Roosevelt's College of Arts & Sciences, as he hosts two roundtable conversations on Earth Day with SUST alumni. Learn about how sustainability plays a role in their current jobs, get inspired by their service and activism, and engage in thoughtful discussion about the state of the world in 2021 and its sustainable future. Two roundtables are scheduled: the first at 1pm and the second at 6pm (both CST), each featuring different alumni. You're welcome to attend one or both!
