7th Annual CACS Sustaina bil i ty Summ itWed, April 21st, 4-6pm

The7th Annual Sustainability Summitis an

opportunity for the campus community to dis-

cuss pertinent sustainability topics. It is open to

anyone interested in sustainability, and could be

of particular interest to those seeking to get

more involved in campus sustainability or recon-

nect with its other members after a years

worth of work.

1. The Poster Session. This will be a dynamic

space in which students/staff/faculty will stand by

their posters to share their projects with the

campus community. Your participation is impor-

tant during this part since it serves as an opportu-

nity for sustainability movers on campus to inter-

act with one another. There will also be light

refreshments!

2. The Panel Session. During this 45 minute

session, four panelists answer questions from the

audience about campus sustainability. We believe

the panel will bring out the sustainability topics

important to the campus.

You can submit questions before hand to iseliver-

[email protected].

The panel will be moderated by Dean Wolch

from the College of Environmental Design, the

four panelists are:

Vice Chancellor Ed Denton

Vice Provost Cathy Koshland

ASUC Senator Christina Oatfield

Graduate Assembly, Corinne Scown

3. Chancellor Birgeneau will wrap up the

summit by announcing

Green Fund Grant and Sus-

tainability Award recipients,

group has been doing

throughout the year.
