Auburn University is a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. As such, anyone with an auburn.edu email can get a discount for this year’s virtual Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education:Mobilizing for a Just Transition. 

Addressing the interrelated social and ecological crises through a holistic transformation, a shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy, this year’s conference will focus on centering justice within this transformation and ensuring that it leaves no one behind.

The conference will be held Oct. 20-22, and features keynotes from Ibram X. Kendi, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw and other key leaders. However, if one is registered, the content is available to them for a month online after the conference.

Previous student interns in the Office of Sustainability have shared some of their conference takeaways over the past years.
