Sustainability Webinar: Climate Action with Emily Frias

In celebration of Campus Sustainability Month, the Office of Sustainability will be hosting a few webinars to highlight different practitioners in the field of sustainability.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a webinar with UMBC alumni Emily Frias from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) to discuss the current climate action work the organization is working on. She will also share internship opportunities and how students can get involved with CCAN!

If you are interested in local climate action join us on October 14th, from 6-7 pm via Webex.
