Come hear some of the great sustainability action ideas that your fellow students, faculty and staff have been carrying around in their back pockets—and submit some of your own!Ìý

The afternoon will include 1-minute idea pitches from six selected projects, fun and frantic workshopping with participants (see below), and final 3-min presentations. There will also be two wildcard tables for great ideas that emerge at the event, and an idea board to capture all your thoughts. A panel of judges will provide feedback to presenters and prizes will be awarded.

This event is open to all! Come help make Vision 2020 real!

We asked presenters to share 140-character tweetable executive summaries of their projects. Here are some of the ideas you’ll help shape:
