The inaugural Fall Sustainability Symposium, lead by the Fresno State Sustainability Club and supported by the Associate Vice President for Water and Sustainability, will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, in the Ellipse Gallery at the Henry Madden Library.

“Our Fall Sustainability Symposium is a great way to have a discussion about the importance of sustainability," said Marissa Acosta, club president. "The campus community will have the opportunity to learn how they can get involved in creating a more sustainable future on campus and in our community.”

The event will provide time for networking and discussion among its attendees about sustainability in our community from 9 – 11 a.m. followed by keynote speaker Dr. Peter M. J. Hess at 11 a.m. who will discuss "How can Fresno move toward sustainability and meet the challenges of climate disruption?"

“Sustainability Club members have been working hard this year to elevate sustainability awareness on the campus. I am looking forward to this event and what they will accomplish in the future,” said Thomas Esqueda, assistant vice president for water and sustainability.
