This year’s Sustainability Symposium invites us to consider the dynamic relationships between trees, forest ecosystems, and our social entanglements. This event is part of the Weis Center’s Trees Series and will highlight work at the intersection of trees, data science, and sustainability. Join us as we learn from national author Dr. Beronda Montgomery, author of When Trees Testify, as she uses trees to weave together black history and botanical knowledge. The event will include a panel to discuss different efforts to integrate trees into our communities and study their ecology followed by campus themed tour options and a Sustainability Expo.

About the Sustainability Expo:
The Sustainability Expo is a chance for students, staff, faculty, and community groups to share their work in a broad range of sustainability and environment research, action, creative works, prototypes, and more. Students are welcomed and encouraged to present their work from course projects, summer research, and even tabling with their student groups. Organizations, non-profits, and campus units are invited to table at the Expo and share their good works and opportunities for environmental and sustainability engagement as well.

Registration:
This event is FREE and open to the public, but we do ask for advance registration so we can plan for food, reduce waste, and keep this and future events free for all. Abstract Submission and Registration portal will open in January 2026.
