The free workshop "The Social Equity Factor: A Study of Community Attitudes, Expectation, and Priorities" is scheduled Friday, March 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. in 294 Smith Union. The main speaker is Lynn Feekin, Labor Education and Research Center, University of Oregon.

Integrating social equity principles into community sustainability initiatives are a challenge for all communities. This presentation summarizes the findings of a Eugene study exploring community sentiment on sustainable business development and the kinds of practices community members believe are most essential to the promotion of social equity.
