What Else Is Possible (2025-2026)

In times of such rapid change—politically, economically, climatically—uncertainty can be paralyzing, robbing us of the ability to make plans or to envision any kind of future, let alone a hopeful one. For the 2025-26 schoolyear, Sustain Penn State’s series offers a welcoming space to come together and begin to imagine again. Our programming is an invitation to ask: What else is possible? Come join us as we build a community focused on collectively visioning a positive shared future that builds from our strengths, recognizes society’s challenges, and strives for a better planet for us all.
