Keynote Address:

Representative from the the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE)

Learning how to live sustainably is a journey as important for institutions of higher education as it is for individuals or governments. For WSU the question is: what makes a university sustainable? AASHE will cover the germination and efflorescence of critical thinking on sustainability in the university setting, covering the myriad opportunities for individuals and their institutions of higher education to close ranks behind what is, essentially, the responsibility of sustainability.
