Students Shaping Climate Futures

Curated by UCSC graduate student instructor Saul Villegas as part of OpenLab's Climate Action Lab initiative, developed under the guidance of Professor Jennifer Parker, with support from the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience at UC Santa Cruz.  

EcoVisions showcases an inspiring collection of posters at the Seymour Discovery Center designed by students in the "Altering the Digital Image & Creative Art Practices" course. A lower division undergraduate class developed and taught by Villegas in the summer of 2023 at UC Santa Cruz. Students were asked to focus on creating positive messaging that sparks curiosity, builds opportunities for engagement, and illustrates possibilities for action and change while illuminating the beauty and wonder of the natural world we are all part of.
