Environmental Events Across the UNC Campus

The Institute for the Environment strives to build a stronger intellectual community through programs that stimulate discussion of environmental issues on campus and in the larger society. The program maintains this listing of all environmental events at UNC. The Institute will list an environmental event upon request. To list your event, please send information about your UNC-affiliated environmental event to ie@unc.edu. Please note that the Institute acts as a clearinghouse for environmental information on the Carolina campus. Listing on this page, or carriage on the Institute Listserv, does not necessarily imply sponsorship or endorsement of any event by the program.
