In addition to hosting and co-hosting sustainability events and program info-sessions throughout the year, we host the Changemaker Speaker Series.

Paul College of Business and Economics and the Carsey School of Public Policy, the Changemaker Speaker Series covers a diverse range of topics related to the world’s most pressing challenges, including the climate crisis and racial injustice.
