Project

The Next Centenniel: Engaging UCLA's Community to Envision our Next 100 Years

Project Description

Our mission is to empower the people of UCLA to define, create, and reclaim ‘The Next Centennial.’ We want to facilitate collective visioning that applies participatory action research principles and harnesses the power of community organizing and peacemaking.

The purpose of this project is to emphasize that achieving carbon neutrality and other sustainable policies are necessary to secure our campus’ future. With the different project components, we will bridge the diverse visions of students, staff, faculty, and alumni for how we reach these goals and what the outcome could look like.
