There are many sustainability events at UTS, both large and small, some regular and others one-off.
Annual events
- O-Day – drop by the UTS Green stall during orientation week at the beginning of each academic session for loads of information, competitions and more.
- Earth Hour is in March and at UTS we're run energy saving activities across the campus.
- Green Week is hosted in first semester and provides great ideas and opportunities to make more sustainable choices in your everyday life.
- Global Goals Month in September is a great opportunity to find out about the great work being done across the university to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
- Green Building Week organised by the Green Building Council of Australia in September. UTS participates with tours, talks, etc.

There is no spoken word.
The video shows visuals of the annual Walk to UTS Day event in 2017.
Walkers arrive in small groups, sign-in at the reception desk in the foyer of building 1, help themselves to breakfast, and socialise in small groups.
Up to date information on individual events is available on Facebook.
Other periodic events
- Stalls are held on a regular basis, usually to promote specific issues such as car pooling, threatened species, e-waste, etc.
- Clothes swaps are a great way to exchange something you’ve grown tired of. Organised periodically by the Students’ Association.
