Want to save the world in small but meaningful ways? Engaging with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level and learning how to transfer your academic skills and personal experience to solve big problems can be your first step.

Please join students from CASC 161, Building Impactful Ideas, along with UR and community partners in addressing a challenge observed on college campuses daily. Working in small groups, we’ll take a local approach to the interconnected issues of waste (SDG 12) and climate change (SDG 13) and then widen the lens to see how your potential solutions can have an impact at the global level.

This is a unique opportunity to meet up with fellow students and engage in brainstorming, systems thinking, and idea generation while drawing on the knowledge of expert advisors. Light refreshments and completion certificates will be provided.
