CALL FOR PRESENTERS

 

Creating Sustainable

 

Connections

April 18-19, 2008

 

We invite proposals for the 2008 UMACS conference at Luther College on the theme of “Creating Sustainable Connections”. Topics may include but are not limited to: green building, alternative energy, campus recycling and composting, local and organic foods, environmental education, community organizing, energy efficiency, student participation, transportation, building maintenance and housekeeping, integrating sustainability into the curriculum and other subjects related to sustainable campus design, operations or living.

 

Session formats may include panel presentations, workshops, plenary addresses, roundtable discussions, posters, or other methods appropriate to the topic. An Eco Fair will be a great opportunity for informal presentations, vendor exhibits, poster presentations, and showcases on successful campus sustainability initiatives.

 

Proposals are welcomed from all campus constituents—faculty, administrators, staff, and students; individuals or companies providing products or services that support the goal of campus sustainability are also invited to participate.  Students and student groups are strongly urged to participate, presenting on research or campus sustainability projects.  Reduced rates for registration will be available for student participants.

 

Proposals will be accepted through January 31, 2008. A proposal submission form is available at www.umacs.org/conference_proposal.htm, and questions may be directed to Caleb Mattison at mattca01@luther.edu.
