Free Global Sustainability Conference for UF Community
For the second year in a row, the UF Office of Sustainability is happy to announce that the virtual 2021 Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education (GCSHE) on October 12-14, 2021, will be available online for current UF students, faculty and staff at zero cost.
As a “Host Institution”, UF attendees will have access to the full 3 days of live content and networking, as well as 80 days of on-demand access through December 31, 2021.
With a theme of “The future is …”, this year’s Global Conference on Sustainability in Higher Education reflects the uncertainty about the future that many feel and invites participants to recommit themselves to the urgent work of building a future that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient. Much of the conference will highlight leaders, practitioners and higher education institutions that empower us to envision and create such a future.
Attendees will have the opportunity to follow several session “tracks” throughout the conference including Teaching & Learning, Culture & Communications and Campus Operations.

Every year, AASHE brings together thought leaders, experts and practitioners for the series of keynote speakers. Learn more about the speakers below!

– Matt Williams, Director of the UF Office of Sustainability
