Sustain Mizzou

Happy Friday! Be sure to check out the Garden Workday this Sunday!

From the general meeting to gardening, there has been a lot going on for Sustain! We are so glad that so many of you have made it out to the events and look forward to seeing you again. Make sure to keep checking Engage and our socials for future event information!
