ReEnergize Houston Summit is a Huge Success

In the fall of 2009 we had our first regional summit – the ReEnergize Houston Campus Sustainability Summit. It was fantastic! We pulled together students, professors, staff, and administrators from campuses throughout the city so they could talk about what they were doing, develop networks, and figure out how to put sustainability at the forefront of each campus’s agenda.

At the end of the event, the Assoc. VP for University Services at UH and the Director of Sustainability at Rice University decided to co-host a meeting for campus sustainability staff and coordinators next month. They will be joined by the Executive Director for Government Relations and Sustainability at Houston Community College, as well as representatives from other area campuses.

Here’s a quick taste of what the conference was like:
