In my role as the Chair, I host a variety of different events to mobilize research, connect with stakeholders/partners and engage with the community. There are two upcoming events that are open to all and free to attend.
Celebration of the Annual Sustainability Poetry Contest 2025

We also invite anyone interested in sharing their poetry to consider reading a poem aloud at the event.
