IdeaFest highlighted incredible range of work across our Sustainability Department. From research and applied projects to big-picture thinking about the future. Sustainability was redefined, moving beyond sacrifice and regulation to emphasize abundance, joy, relationships, and possibility. Centering community, local connection, and futures thinking, students showed how sustainability can inspire creativity and collective growth.
