This year's annual meeting and fall conference promises to draw a record crowd. Our keynote, "Building Bridges," will be given by Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary 
John Quigley. In addition to his keynote, Mr. Quigley will participate in a "Sustainability Showcase" session to help build a bridge between the work DEP is tasked with doing and the interests and capabilities of Pennsylvania's colleges and universities regarding sustainability. The rest of the day will see speakers from U.S. EPA, DCNR and other organizations--see how your school can benefit from working with them. The day will also feature a poster session, a panel of this year's Campus Sustainability Champions and break out sessions on water, climate and food systems. Plus: a tour of the Eco-Machine.
