Campus Sustainability Day 8
The eighth Campus Sustainability Day will be celebrated on hundreds of college and university campuses on Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Join this online community to ensure that you are kept up to date with the latest about Campus Sustainability Day 8.
Details are still being worked out, but the general theme for the day is likely to be a mash-up of "How do you know your campus is sustainable?" and "If you don't measure it, you can't manage it." The supporting webcast produced by the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) will likely feature some of what has been learned by campuses engaging with AASHE's Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment & System (STARS).

About Campus Sustainability Day
Campus Sustainability Day was founded in 2002 as part of the Society for College and University Planning's early efforts—working with Second Nature—to support cross-departmental, cross-disciplinary, cross-functional, integrated campus planning for sustainability. A lot has happened in this area since 2002, and now—although SCUP continues to provide the cornerstone high-quality webcast for Campus Sustainability Day—this network and the day itself are a collaboration between many organizations, including HEASC members and the National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology Project.
