The SHU Sustainable College Committee will host a biweekly series of outstanding environmental documentaries during the 2015-16 academic year. All events will be from 7-9 p.m.
All events are free to SHU students, faculty and staff as well as community members. However, donations are welcome as we are trying to raise enough funds to be able to join the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). Please use the Donation Form in the above links.
There will be a short introduction before the showing of the documentaries. Following the showings, there will be an optional discussion on the topic of the movie and how well the issue was covered. Below is the current tentative schedule, with the title and topic it covers:
