CURC’s annual workshop will focus on what connections we can cultivate for a just and zero waste future.
This program will be a series of presentations on different ways we can collaborate with colleagues, our campus population and community organizations.
Registration is required and the cost is $25; however, we do not want anyone to be excluded from this workshop due to their inability to pay. Please email curc3r@gmail.com if you need financial assistance.
The virtual workshop will be conducted via Zoom. A Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants closer to the workshop date.
In this workshop, we will focus on four different themes:
- Connecting our waste programs with the needs and experiences of our campuses’ BIPOC and marginalized communities
- Connecting with our city/local government on waste reduction and diversion
- Connecting with community groups working on the health and Environmental Justice impacts of waste
- Connect with our regional colleagues for mutual sharing of strategies and resources
We are very excited to take this time to embrace the idea of regional “meet-ups” around the country! The last hour of the workshop will involve breakout sessions by region to discuss opportunities for collaboration.”

- New England – Margaret Bounds – mbounds@conncoll.edu
- Mid-Atlantic – Leana Houser – lhouser@jhu.edu
- Southeast – Jennifer Maxwell – maxwelljb@appstate.edu
