Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability: Community Town Hall and Celebration
Join Assistant Dean Lupe Carrillo, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Professor Paula Welander, and Dean Arun Majumdar for our annual Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability Community Townhall and Community Celebration.
The Community Town Hall will feature a reflective dialogue on our progress toward building a more inclusive and engaged community. Together, we’ll exchange ideas on this year’s accomplishments and look ahead to the work still to come. Join us from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Zoom or in-person at Hartley Conference Room as we connect, reflect, and envision the path forward.
At 4:00 pm, we’ll transition to Mitchell Patio to kick-off the 3rd Community Celebration. Dean Arun Majumdar will announce the recipient of the SDSS Excellence in Community Award at 4:10 pm. This is a chance to come together as a community, recognize our accomplishments, and celebrate the end of the academic school year!
Please RSVP to let us know if you’ll be attending the Community Town Hall, the Community Celebration, or both. Be sure to indicate whether you’ll join the Town Hall in person or virtually.
