The LAS Global Leaders Program (GLP) is a four-year, cohort-based initiative that equips students to develop social innovations for global challenges using Human-Centered Design. Related to the GLP 2022-2023 theme of environmental justice, students and staff will host two speakers to address this timely issue from a professional and student perspective. Other planned activities will include smaller working group sessions where participants will dialogue about environmental justice challenges and how to personally and collectively take a greater stand in their communities. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to artistically reflect what they discussed on recyclable materials.
