WOHESC 2026 — Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for WOHESC 2026 at the University of Washington in Seattle. This year’s gathering, centered on the theme Still We Rise, brought together students, faculty, staff, and community partners committed to advancing sustainability and climate justice across higher education. Through inspiring keynotes, student-led sessions, interactive tours and collaborative discussions, participants explored resilience and the power of collective action with intergenerational leadership. Together, we examined how institutions can navigate today’s challenges while building more equitable, regenerative, and community-centered campuses. Attendees left with practical tools, renewed momentum and strengthened relationships to continue moving sustainability forward across the Cascadia region and beyond.

WOHESC explores what it means to intentionally cultivate sustainable communities within higher education and beyond. Attendees engage in thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, and meaningful networking opportunities, all centered on fostering environmentally conscious and socially responsible communities. Post-event participants leave with actionable insights and strategies to implement on their campuses and in their work, strengthening the movement for sustainability and social justice in the Cascadia region and beyond.
