Paving the Way: Taking Bold Action Toward Environmental Justice
915 E. Washington St.,
Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Year after year, the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (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 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Executive Secretary Christiana Figueres, writer/activist Bill McKibben, and award-winning filmmaker, photographer, and adventurer Jimmy Chin. View photos from recent events here.
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.
Please join us in supporting intellectual exchange and community engagement with a talk by SEAS faculty member Arun Agrawal. It is an open event for SEAS and non-SEAS students, staff, and faculty. Reception to follow. For questions, email [email protected]
