PURPOSE
In honor of Earth Month, the GoUSF Environmental Justice Committee has partnered with USF departments and local organizations to bring together a dynamic series of programs focused on environmental justice, sustainable development, and climate solutions. Each week highlights voices and perspectives addressing challenges within our communities, with the goal of inspiring curiosity, connection, and continued learning through an environmental justice lens.
All programming is open to the entire USF community, we encourage you to join us, learn something new, and be part of the conversation.
The Environmental Justice committee includes: Suzy Kisylia (Human Resources), Jenny Lee (HPS), Richard Hsu (Office of Sustainability), and Naa Deedei-Vera Hammond (MPH Candidate and Graduate Student at the Intercultural Center)
