The Haury Program was established in 2014 at UArizona to support research and community-based outreach to solve a range of sustainability challenges and their disparate impacts. The Haury Program seeks to honor the memory of Mrs. Agnese Haury, who believed in social justice and sought to solve the many "wicked" societal and environmental problems facing our region and the world. The Haury Program is funded by a bequest from Mrs. Haury's trust and is overseen by a Donor Advised Fund board. It is the only program with this unique governance structure at the UArizona.
The Haury Program is part of the Arizona Institute for Resilient Environments and Societies (AIRES) family. AIRES is a coalition of researchers and policy experts from the University of Arizona who are consolidating intellectual resources to pursue scalable work aimed at building resilience. Together, the Haury Program and AIRES pursue non-siloed collaboration across campus departments and disciplines to better bring UArizona cutting-edge research and ideas to the world.
On April 11, University of Arizona professors Drs. Karletta Chief, Diana Liverman, Sallie Marston, and Dean Emerita Toni Massaro were recognized for their leadership and contributions to society and the environment and inspiring a new generation of scholars advocating for community-driven solutions to the world's challenges.
At the event, personalized benches were unveiled for each of the honorees in the Women's Plaza of Honor (WPOH). The benches were bestowed by the Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice (Haury Program) in the Arizona Institute for Resilient Environments and Societies, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Department of Environmental Science, and the James E. Rogers College of Law. The personalized benches include meaningful quotes and imagery of the honorees' lives.
