Filed under: EVENTS, GET INVOLVED

Hello CASL fans! As you may (or may not) know, CASL puts on an event every spring called Redefine the Dream where we try to teach students on campus about everyday sustainability through interactive and fun activities.  We stay with one theme, and develop on it with activities, speakers, and lots of juicy info.

This is a call for ideas! All you wonderful, creative, and knowledgeable people out there must have some great ideas for our event this spring.  Let’s have it! Please comment if you have any ideas you’d like to see played out this spring on UO campus.

THANKS!
