Save the date for December 11th and join ISF at Sustainability On Tap!

Sustainability On Tap is led by members of the ISF faculty leadership team, and brings together faculty, students, & community members for intimate, table-based conversations that highlight the convergence of arts & sciences. Each small group is guided by a faculty leader who introduces a sustainability topic through an open, conversational approach. To deepen the dialogue, each session features a single work of art—chosen to spark connections between nature, creativity, & application. This focal point invites participants to reflect not only on scientific insights, but also on the cultural & emotional dimensions of sustainability. The format emphasizes exchange, curiosity, & collaboration. Rather than lectures, Sustainability ON! sessions are living conversations where diverse perspectives intersect, fostering fresh ideas about how we understand & act on the pressing challenges of our time.

Agenda: 

6:00-6:30pm - Social and museum tour opportunity

6:30-6:40pm - Research lightning talk 

6:40-7:15pm - Round table lightning talks, and opportunity for museum curator discussion and researcher networking.

This event is FREE & open to the public with a light reception. RSVP required here to attend!
