The University of Washington is a member of AASHE and all members of the UW community can access AASHE resources by signing up with your uw.edu email address. Register here
Young people are not only the primary constituents of colleges and universities—they are also the generation that will inherit the pressing sustainability and social justice challenges of our time. But what do today’s youth actually want? How do they perceive these issues? And what do they believe it will take to create meaningful progress?
This webinar explores answers to those questions through findings from two national polls conducted by Sacred Heart University (SHU) in 2024 and 2025.

Participants will be invited to consider how these insights might be applied across their own…
