Events open to the local community

Earth Day Panel - Roadless Rule

Come join the Sierra Club, National Parks Conservation Association, PSO, Save Our Wild Salmon, Students, and Community members for an Earth Day event! We are holding a panel discussion of the Roadless Rule. The 2001 Roadless Rule established prohibitions on road construction, reconstruction, and timber harvesting in almost 60 million acres of Inventoried Roadless Areas. The USDA has announced plans to rescind this rule, potentially opening 45 million acres of public land to timber harvest. 

Learn About Public Health In Action

Join us for an insightful session with Meghan King, MPH, Chief Engagement & Communications Officer at the Washington Poison Center (WAPC).

While many know the WAPC for its emergency help-line, their impact stretches far deeper into the fabric of our communities.

Meghan will also share her own professional journey—from her Master’s at the University of Washington to her roles at local health jurisdictions, the federal government, and educational institutions.

OIED Multicultural Trivia Tabling Event

This interactive event is designed to engage students in a fun and educational way while celebrating cultural diversity on campus. The tabling activity will feature an interactive trivia board divided into two sections, with one side displaying trivia questions related to various cultures around the world (e.g., traditions, landmarks, food, attire, or cultural practices) and the other side will feature corresponding images. Students will be invited to match each question with the correct image, creating an engaging and participatory learning experience.
