ACPA Institute on Sustainability Conference Overview The second annual ACPA Institute on Sustainability will again bring together students, staff and faculty from colleges and universities across the country who are committed to sustainability. Now, more than ever, it is essential to implement sustainable practices that save money and reduce a campus’ carbon footprint. This Institute will provide participants with the tools necessary to help each campus become more sustainable.
Why Send a Team? Last year, some of the best feedback received from participants was from those who attended as members of an institutional team. While individual attendance is perfectly fine, if you can bring a team of students, faculty and administrators, we encourage it! Students may register at a significantly discounted rate without being ACPA members. Here are what one 2008 student participant who came as a part of a team said about last year’s Institute:
