Presentation Summary:
Join us Tuesday, May 02, 2023, from 10-11 AM to be inspired by practical ways people are integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their work in Niagara. Webinar presenters will share concrete examples of how they are including the SDGs in education and other campus activities. The intent is to give you some ideas that can be applied in your workplace!
