Sustainability Invitation
Emerson Sustainability is currently preparing for the annual Campus Race to Zero Waste competition that runs from February through the end of March. It’s a friendly competition between universities in North America to reduce waste on campuses and raise awareness about waste-related behaviors. In celebration of Campus Race to Zero Waste, we are participating in the Green Event Certification program and we hope you will join us in this challenge. In advance of your travel to Boston, we encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle and/or hot thermos and utensils to reduce the need for single use products.

Communities of Practice

Sunday March 23, 2025 11:45am - 12:45pm EDT

TBA

The three, sequential Communities of Practice gatherings are an opportunity to engage with a more intimate group of symposium attendees over the weekend. These lightly moderated sessions will provide space to grapple together with core questions, inquiries, reflections and curiosities that emerge for your own creative practice throughout the Symposium.

Though we acknowledge that so many of us have hybrid-hyphenated-intersecting identities related to our practice, we request that you self-select one of the following communities with to engage over our three days together:

K12 educators (Matthew Reynolds)
Community-engaged artists and practitioners (Jo Michael Rezes)
Researchers/ university faculty or staff (Jonathan Jones)

NOTE: All attendees will join a Community of Practice regardless of how many days you will be with us.
