On April 16 & 17, 2008, Lane Community College hosted the first Conference on Sustainability for Community Colleges. There were 125 attendees representing 47 different colleges and other organizations from 16 different states.

Two excellent keynote speakers provided attendees with inspiration and critical information about the importance of moving sustainability forward in community colleges. Twenty breakout sessions, two tours, a film, a plenary session, and a webcast of the National Wildlife Federation's Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming provided attendees with the opportunity to learn practical skills and strategies for implementing sustainability at their schools. Attendees also met in groups by job-type and discussed challenges and opportunities for implementing a variety of sustainability measures.

And of course, there was lots of great networking!

On this page, you will find breakout session presentations, the notes from the subject meetings with focus questions, and information about how to order copies of the DVDs of the keynote presenters.

Thanks to everyone who presented, attended and helped to make this conference a success.
