PALS Present: Fall Showcase
The Partnership for Academic Leadership in Sustainability (PALS) promotes academic sustainability in art and design higher education institutions. We believe it’s vital that creative education places sustainability at its core, preparing artists and designers to lead in shaping a more sustainable future.
PALS PRESENTS
This is a new, semi-annual virtual event, showcasing the work of our PALS partners throughout the year.
