About UBC’s SEEDS Program
It’s a program that integrates students’ energy and enthusiasm for sustainability with faculty members’ research experience, and staff members’ commitment to advance sustainability on campus.

SEEDS Social Mapping Project
It’s a collaborative project with the School of Community and Regional Planning and Campus + Community Planning with the objective to develop a social map of animation opportunities on campus.
