We'd like to plug our upcoming Meet & Gr(eat) that will take place next Wednesday from 5-6:30PM in the Cervantes Velasquez Room (3rd floor of Bay Tree Building, just before Ethnic Resource Centers). Our discussion topic is "BIPOC in the Outdoors," and we have invited a few guest panelists to zoom in and speak on their experiences in conservation, sustainability, and participation in local/state/national parks. This might also be a good time to ask any questions about career opportunities in this field. Vegan/veggie dinner will be provided--hence the Gr(eat) in Meet & Gr(eat) hehe--so please come drop by, eat, mingle, and don't forget to bring your reusable eating-ware!
