Scholarly Colloquia and Events

  • Today: BOLD Scholar Research Showcase: Xinyu Lin

    UConn’s BOLD Women's Leadership Network focuses on facilitating opportunities for women’s leadership on campus through scholarship funding, programming, and engagement in service/leadership projects. The inaugural cohort of BOLD Scholars completed their research/service leadership projects during the Summer of 2019.  Each Scholar will be disseminating the results of their projects in ways that showcase their work.  Xinyu Lin will be hosting a poster session with the results of her Photo Story research project on the relationship between identity and climate activism. 

    Event Description:

    The fight against the climate crisis demands all hands on deck. This means we need leadership and engagement that’s representative of America’s diversity. Unfortunately, we’re not there — yet.

    Visit a photo story exhibit on Sept 16th from 4-6pm in Student Union 331 and learn from the stories of leaders from underrepresented identities in the environmentalism & environmental justice movement. All are welcome, no prior knowledge necessary!

    Free food and stickers will be available!
