\"SunflowerFor many years, the Mitchell Center has hosted an innovative Sustainability Talks<\/em> series during the fall and spring semesters. The goal of these talks is to provide students, faculty, and interested citizens with opportunities to learn about: 1) the multi-faceted nature of sustainability problems; 2) the value of connecting different forms of knowledge and know-how in efforts to understand and solve such problems; and 3) the ways in which partnerships between universities and diverse stakeholders can facilitate efforts to identify and implement useful solutions.<\/p>\n

All talks are Mondays at 3pm and are available via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall, 91르적. For Zoom attendees, registration is required for each talk. Please go to individual event pages to register. Many talks are recorded and can be found on our YouTube site<\/a> after the event.<\/p>\n
