We invite you to explore and celebrate the CU Environmental Center's storied history of environmental advocacy and change through five decades of work by students, staff, faculty, and campus and community partners. As we celebrate where we have been, we will also look ahead to our vision for the next 50 years of an even more sustainable campus community. We will share a short video about the Environmental Center through the eyes of the students invovled through the years as well as toasts from Environmental Center leadership and partners. Bring your own champagne, birthday cake, party hats, and any other implements of celebration. Share stories with current and past Environmental Center students, staff, and friends.
If you can't join us live virtually (or even if you can), consider sharing on our 50th Anniversary Kudoboard.
