Join the CU Environmental Center in collaboration with HDS Eco-Reps ProgramÌýas it launches the new Eco-Engage Events Program on Saturday, Sept. 2, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The program's first excursion will take students on a tour of sustainable and local food systems on campus and in Â鶹ӰԺ, including CU dining, the Â鶹ӰԺ Farmers' Market, Â鶹ӰԺ Food Rescue and two local organic farms. The deadline to enroll is Sept. 6.Ìý

The program is aimed primarily at first and second year students and features an array of sustainability oriented field trips, both on and of campus, giving students the opportunity to meet and network with local leaders and innovators working in a wide range of areas related to sustainability. Hopefully some of the connections made during the program can lead toÌýideas for internships, part time jobs and career paths in sustainability.

The freeÌýofferings are restricted to CUÌýÂ鶹ӰԺ students and take advantage of the outstanding local resources available on campus and along the Front Range regarding applied sustainability. Students may participate in any number ofÌýevents. There are currently fiveÌýevents planned for the fall 2016 semester and fiveÌýplanned for the spring 2017 semester. There are no prerequisites to participate and transportation is provided.
