Join the Social and Environmental Sustainability Committee as we work to gain a Sustainability Resource Center at UCSD. We need your ideas, input, and help to make this a reality. Please come to the Sustainability Center Student Forum on February 6th at 7pm in Muir Biology Room 1103 to participate in this process. Everyone is welcome. If you cannot make the meeting and would still like to be involved, please email: sesc.ucsd@gmail.com.

 

Activist Rush Week is the largest outreach effort by the activist community at UCSD. Beginning the morning of Jan
14th and ending on Jan 18th with the “Party with a Purpose”, ARW will be a week-long series of events allowing you to learn more about on-campus organizations working on such issues as Trade Justice, Gender Equality, Racial Equality, Freedom of Speech, Climate Change, Informed Consumption, Progressive Politics and Sustainability.

It’s the perfect opportunity to finally get involved in things that actually matter in the world, and help shatter the notion that UCSD is a politically sterile environment.

While we are still working out some of the specifics, we will definitely have free Film Screenings. We will table everyday for you to come by, meet us, and get information. We will even have a UCSD record breaking group hug on the 18th.
