A great local professional development opportunity! -Anna

Calling all students!
The Office of Sustainability is able to fully sponsor some students to attend the 8th Annual Student Sustainability Student Leaders Symposium (SSLS) on 11/5/17 at Champlain College. Champlain College is a short walk (5-10 min) from UVM.

This conference is specifically designed for students who are involved in sustainability efforts on their campus. The day will feature a campus tour, 21 short (30-45 min) presentations by students and regional young professionals, a keynote address and roundtable discussions. This is a uniquely tailored opportunity for student sustainability leaders to meet and collaborate with peers from other institutions!

The event will run from 10am – 5:30 pm (lunch included). SSLS will showcase sustainable conferencing by hosting regional hubs for students residing a long distance from the Philadelphia region where the main event is being held at Swarthmore. All presentations will be given at Swarthmore and broadcast at Champlain College via Zoom video-conferencing.

To receive funding from our office, please submit this form by 10/20 briefly explaining why you’d like to attend in order to be considered. Selected students will be notified by 10/25 and must confirm their registration for the symposium by 10/30. Chosen students are expected to submit a short description about what they learned from SSLS and how they may be able to apply it to campus in exchange for full coverage of the registration fee.

Thanks,
