2025-26 Community Conversations in Sustainability
2025-26 Community Conversations in Sustainability
Each month, this work will include a featured speaker with opportunities for interprofessional conversations. Through this work, we aim to inspire research ideas, and support grassroots initiatives that engage with community members across the state. A series of community discussions can help establish relationships between community residents and leaders, academicians in the humanities and health care providers. These conversations will create a bridge for community-led solutions addressing climate-change health concerns.
Held monthly on the KU Medical Center campus
Attend in-person or virtually via zoom
Open to all community members, and campus students, staff and faculty
All conversations are recorded and placed under the "Previous Events" tab above
