What does it mean for Learning Connections Conference?
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, a selection of this year's LCC workshops/sessions were mapped across the various UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This work was completed by members of Facilities Management Services (Beth Sills, Jadon Hook, and Paulina Szlachta) in order to demonstrate the interconnectedness of the SDGs across various areas.
