Latinx in Their Element 2024

Latinxs and the Environment would like to thank The Green Initiative Fund for sponsoring this project.

Latinxs and the Environment (L&E) is launching the LITE Project, a year-long program intended to promote sustainability and environmental justice research to BIPOC students on campus through educational workshops and presentations and provide a paid summer research opportunity for undergraduate Latinx/BIPOC students at UC Berkeley to receive hands-on experience with faculty and graduate student researchers conducting research about sustainability and environmental justice. This project will relieve students of financial burdens for summer housing, while simultaneously providing them with experience that allows them to advance in their academic and professional careers.

The LITE project’s Fall 2024 workshop dates:

Wednesday, October 16th, 5 PM 

Wednesday, November 13th, 5 PM
