Educating for Sustainability: Schreyer National Conference

Educating for Sustainability will energize faculty, staff, students and administrators to infuse environmental sustainability into the curriculum, and thereby broaden Penn State's capacity to address significant challenges related to energy and the environment. Because these challenges will require assessing ethical consequences and communicating effectively with the public and policy makers, as well as competencies for conducting scientific research and creating successful design solutions, this conference will be relevant to a broad audience.

Educating for Sustainability is open to Penn State faculty, staff, students and administrators at no charge; however, space is limited and advanced registration is required.

Travel support is available for those attending from commonwealth campuses. For more information, contact Deidre Yingling at deidre@psu.edu.
