Year upon year, SEAS is pleased to offer our community and the public an impressive lineup of the leaders and best in environment and sustainability. Students, faculty, and interested partners get to hear from and interact with household names and rising stars who will usher in the next wave of brilliant innovations in sustainability.

Some of our greatest past visiting luminaries include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, former UNFCCC Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres, writer/activist Bill McKibben, and award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and adventurer Jimmy Chin.

Upcoming SEAS Events

Just about every day (and sometimes several times a day) there are exciting, insightful, and important events at SEAS and across the U-M campus. Take advantage of these extensive (and usually free) opportunities to explore your options, expand your horizons, network, and learn about other disciplines.

SEAS events are subject to be postponed, cancelled or moved online due to Covid-19 pandemic. Please check back regularly for updates to the event page.
