Upcoming Sessions 

The ONE VCU Sustainability Plan: Early Opportunities and Successes
May 22, 2025
12:30 p.m. 

Join us for a conversation with Lloyd Blake, program manager for Urban Gardens and Forestry, at VCU Sustainability. Learn about the history of the ONE VCU Sustainability Plan and implementation efforts already underway. Did you know there was a Men's Basketball "Green Game" held in early February? You’ll also find out about VCU’s robust efforts to reduce the amount of food waste generated on campus and you’ll get a sneak peak at some upcoming urban gardens and forestry projects.

These Community Zooms are at a new time of 12:30 p.m., so grab some lunch and join us online!

Guidelines

Prior to joining a session, attendees are encouraged to check that Zoom is working properly on their computers or devices by testing it at https://zoom.us/test.

At the start of every session, attendee’s microphones will be muted. This allows everyone to hear the organizers and presenters clearly. Attendees will be invited to unmute their microphones and speak at different times during the session.

If you have questions or comments while others are speaking, you can type them in the chat.

As at physical events, attendees are asked to help make sessions inclusive of all participants by using respectful language and allowing others to speak, even if they disagree with viewpoints being expressed.

VCU Libraries reserves the right to remove attendees from sessions for disruptive behavior.

Be advised that VCU Libraries will record all sessions for its private archives but may make use of the recordings for future projects, including publicity.

For special accommodations, or to register offline, please contact Ryan Pander, event manager, rbpander@vcu.edu or 804-828-0593.
