Have you heard of the student group Graduate Sustainability Network (GSN) at Jefferson? The club aims to create an interdisciplinary network of graduate students with interest in sustainability. Each year, GSN hosts the Sustainability Forum during their spring semester which is a free event that brings together members of the community with a panel to discuss sustainability.

The 8th Annual Sustainability Forum will be held on Thursday, March 7th from 5-7pm at the Bluemle Life Science Building in center city. This year’s theme is Women Thinking Forward: Highlighting Women Working Towards a Sustainable Future. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to hear from a panel of women (including our Co-Founder and Editor in Chief, Julie Hancher!) that are all fighting for a sustainable future.

Speakers:

– Tara St James, Owner & Creative Director at Study NYC – Sustainable Womenswear 

– Julie Hancher, Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief at Green Philly

– LIA Diagnostics, Creators of the First Flushable Pregnancy Test

– Jennifer Johnson, Geodesign Specialist for Metropolitan Government of Nashville
