Sustainability, to CSF, is inherently intersectional, grounded in the understanding that people, community, culture, systems, and place are part of one interconnected whole.
This will be a two-hour tour through campus paths & a short bus ride with lots of breaks and snacks in between. Each stop will showcase the creativity and collaboration that make these projects possible and an invitation to imagine what sustainability can mean in practice. We’ll visit some projects supported by the CSF and hear directly from the teams who helped bring them to life!
For both new and returning students, this is an opportunity to build community with others who care about sustainability and justice. Through this tour, you’ll get a glimpse into what sustainability can look like in practice and explore pathways that resonate with you.

Free Public Lecture: Saving a Species, The Endangered Seastar
Since 2013, more than 5 billion sea stars have perished from “sea star wasting,” a mysterious disease that has devastated the iconic sunflower sea star and triggered cascading ecosystem impacts. With sunflower stars gone, purple sea urchins—unchecked grazers of kelp—exploded in number, leading to 90% declines in kelp forests, a critical temperate-zone habitat. At the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Labs, Dr. Drew Harvell’s team has led groundbreaking research to uncover the cause of sea star wasting, work highlighted in The New York Times, while Dr. Jason Hodin’s team has successfully reared hundreds of sunflower stars in captivity, efforts featured on NBC’s Wild Kingdom. Together, they raise vital questions: what resources and talent are needed to sustain such research, what is the cost to our marine ecosystems if it falters, and what happens when funding is cut or international collaboration is blocked?
