Springfest 2025
2025 marks the third annual year of Springfest at Western! Springfest is a month-long series of events celebrating the Western Environment & Sustainability Network. The network includes over 35 different student-facing clubs and groups on campus. These groups have collaborated, with support from Western Sustainability, to develop a network which meets regularly to build connections and network amongst the groups, hold dialogue about Western's sustainability initiatives and student perspectives, and to raise awareness of student-facing sustainability opportunities.
Springfest will take place during the month of March 2025. Learn more about the events happening below!
