Sponsored by College Store Design and WTW Architects

An insider's view on the culture of sustainability that permeates the University of Vermont, recently named one of America's Greenest Campuses by Forbes.com. This conference is designed to foster a dialogue on the role of sustainability in the design, delivery, and evaluation of Auxiliary Services.

dining services (board, retail, and convenience stores)
transportation
recycling/solid waste programs, green cleaning
LEED standards in construction

residential peer education for sustainability

All participants will receive a copy of "Degrees that Matter" by Ann Rappaport and Sarah Hammond Creighton, courtesy of College Store Design.
