This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. The central UW event will be EarthFest on Red Square, April 22 (Earth Day) from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. This event will primarily be an exhibition space for groups across UW who can connect with attendees around sustainability, particularly through the lenses of action, equity, diversity and environmental justice.
UW Sustainability wants this to be an inclusive event, with a broad and diverse range of exhibitors and participants. They also want to make sure it will be an engaging and informative experience for our attendees.
Uw Sustainability is asking UW student groups, departments and other organizations interested in participating to fill out an Exhibitor Application, letting them know how they will connect with attendees. They are especially looking for groups who will provide attendees with a hands-on activity or knowledge they will take away from the event.
As part of the UW EarthFest, there will be a space to highlight experiential research and other forms of creative scholarship that transcend the boundaries of the campus and allow UW members to engage with other communities: EcoVillage. UW Sustainability invites UW student groups, departments, and other organizations to participate by showcasing artifacts, models, prototypes, and hands-on activities that can serve as elements of an imaginary ecovillage. The limits are your imagination!
Priority will be given to groups who apply by March 9, 2020.
See more information and apply here.
If you have any questions regarding EarthDay, contact Toren Elste at tee10@uw.edu. For information about the EcoVillage contact Isabel Carrera Zamanillo at micz@uw.edu

There will be 84 construction companies there (my, that’s a lot) looking for folks like you to employ. Both full-time jobs and summer internships are available at this fair. In the past we have had lots of our students attend this fair and they have found it VERY rewarding. If you are interested in construction, this is the one career fair you cannot miss. Every construction company is there. Come prepared with resume, attitude, and enthusiasm.
Heavy construction loves civil engineers
Some may know that my professorship is sponsored by The Beavers Charitable Trust, a heavy civil construction industry organization. Amongst construction firms, heavy civil firms (those that build things other than buildings – like roads, dams, treatment plants, bridges, etc.) LOVE civil engineers. They often look for them preferentially because you have the skills they are most looking for – an ability to logically approach an ill-defined problem and come up with a workable solution. They love your creativity, your technical ability (yes, you have that – ask any non-engineer…that’s our reputation), and your problem-solving skills. If you don’t know who to look for at the fair (84 is quite a lot of companies), try these (they have all hired UW CEEs before):

Hi there! My name is Maya, and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Peer Health Educators, a student organization that exists under the official University of Washington Health & Wellness office. Briefly, Peer Health Educators are student volunteers who facilitate workshops, organize events, run health campaigns, and inspire passion for student health issues in groups all over campus.
I am reaching out to you because we are currently in the process of recruiting students to join our 2019 volunteer cohort. We’ve just released our application (which is due February 15th) and are hoping that you could pass on this announcement to your department. While your department may not be directly related to the work we do, we strive to involve the widest variety of backgrounds, interests, and perspectives within our program as possible because diversity is necessary for widespread outreach, education, and impact. We’d really appreciate it if you could help our efforts to reach the most amount of people we can by informing your students of this opportunity.
Here is the link to the application:
