UCF Sustainability Conference

The University of Central Florida is proud to announce that registration has opened for the 2008 Campus and Community Sustainability Conference being held October 19th-21st, 2008 in Orlando, Florida. We are excited that UCF was awarded this opportunity to showcase sustainable practices this Fall and have chosen the theme of "The 3 C's of Sustainability: Communication, Community Involvement, and Campus Environment."

The conference will have over 400 leaders from around the state attending this two-day event which will showcase best practices in sustainable development in Florida and in the nation, highlight new products and innovations, and provide a forum for organizations - public and private - to explore how to best develop a "green" culture. We are e-mailing you because you attended the 2007 conference held at Florida State University.

We are also excited to announce that we have opened a "Call for Content" and look forward to your hopeful participation in this event.

Please visit http://www.sustainablefloridaconference.org/ for registration and the "Call for Content" information.

Also, I am thinking of creating a "University Sustainability Leaders"
discussion for the Wednesday morning after the conference. The goal would be to have open discussion will ALL Florida Sustainability Coordinators (for lack of a better title) on what we are doing on our campuses and developing a Florida-wide support group. I was also thinking of having a similar discussion simultaneously for the students.

What are your thoughts on this?

We look forward to welcoming you to our campus,
