University of California, Irvine
ER-T2-6: Sustainability Events

Because research and shared learning are fundamental to the mission of the University of California, UC Irvine students are encouraged to attend, organize and/or participate in numerous sustainability-related activities held across campus throughout the year. A number of these programs are identified below. However, this is by no means an all-inclusive list of such activities. UC Irvine’s Newkirk Center for Science and Society sponsors the “Toward a Sustainable 21st Century” seminar series, which was begun in 2007. See: http://www.newkirkcenter.uci.edu/programs.html The Newkirk Center launched "Empowering Sutainability" series in 2011. This involves student fellows from around the world, along with students from UC Irvine.

The series was begun in 2010.
