The path to sustainability is a journey. But what does it mean to move beyond the low-hanging fruit to create transformational change? How can we manage the tension between sustainability performance and campus growth? The Conference brought together attendees who are working to answer these, and many more questions.

Unlike other conferences, SSCC sets itself apart with in-depth presentations to higher education communities who are on the sustainability journey. Most sessions were 80 minutes in length allowing for dialogue and discussion.

Our attendees included directors and staff from sustainability, facilities, health & safety, campus planning and business offices, as well as business partners and other education stakeholders. The Marriott Inn & Conference Center is LEED Silver and Green Seal Certified.

The 2012 conference tracks:

1. Life Cycle of the Built Environment
2. Community Connections
3. The Campus as a Learning Laboratory
4. Fostering Behavior Change
5. Strategic Implementation

Conference Venue
