UW SAN believes that in order to affect the changes we wish to see in our environment, society, government, and economy, we must build bridges between the silos that divide us and work together to build a sustainable future. We work closely with leaders from interdisciplinary student communities to connect people, ideas, and resources on campus. Together, we have forged the following vision:
“A collaborative campus network that engages and empowers diverse perspectives in pursuit of sustainability in our environment, society, government, and economy.”
Our activities include collaborative events, community-building workshops, activism campaigns, and more. As the emerging generation, the future is in our hands. It is up to us to plant the seeds of a sustainable future!
With the realities of growing inequality, political stalemate, and climate disruption that we face today. It is clear that the current system doesn’t work for the vast majority of people on the planet, and we need to work toward something better. Elected officials across the globe are operating on agendas rooted in fear that divide us rather than unite us. In these increasingly polarized times, there is a dire need to build connectivity and solidarity in our local communities as we work to tackle these issues systematically.
SAN is building a grassroots student network, while making strategic connections to administrative bodies on campus. By connecting student groups, administrative offices, and the curriculum, we strive to uncover opportunities for collaboration on campus so that we may realize greater impact through collective action.
Our VISION is:
A collaborative campus network that engages and empowers diverse perspectives in pursuit of sustainability in our environment, society, government, and economy.
We achieve that vision through our MISSION to:
- Amplify partner initiatives.
- Tell the story of holistic sustainability
- Facilitate continuous interdisciplinary action.
And we carry out our mission through ACTION such as:
- Intersectional Workshops
- Activist Networking Events
- Collaborative Events by Network Partners
- Online Network Organization & Event Calendar
- Annual Earth Day & Earth Week festivals
