Emile Pitre, one of the UW’s Black Student Union founders and a longtime staff member in the Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity (OMA&D), will talk about his experience as a student civil rights activist at UW in the 1960s and the activism work he’s seen at UW since. Pitre will then be joined by Cynthia del Rosario and Daaniya Iyaz for a panel discussion touching on the current state of activism at UW and what they see for the future.

The event will be followed by an opportunity for small group discussions until 3 p.m.

The Zoom link will be sent to registrants before the event.

This is part of a series organized by UW Sustainability, the Campus Sustainability Fund and the UW College of the Environment's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion office. We have been working together to explore the intersections between sustainability and equity, and to encourage collaboration between the groups working on these issues across the UW.
