AASHE 2015 Conference & Expo: Transforming Sustainability Education
October 25 – 28, 2015 Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Founded in 2005, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) is proud to lead a decade of sustainability achievements with our members and the larger campus sustainability community, thanks to all of you!
AASHE 2015 Conference & Expo, themed Transforming Sustainability Education, will convene a diverse group of campus representatives including faculty, students, sustainability officers, staff, administrators and presidents together with business, non-profit, government and community members for a sustainable celebration. In the “City by Nature,” a culturally and historically diverse place for thousands of years located on the Dakota homelands, with exquisite green spaces and a cosmopolitan urban culture, we will gather for a look back and into the future to examine:
How higher education institutions can come together to lead campus and community transformation on local, regional and global levels
How we can work across disciplines and cultures to lead the charge on identifying educational strategies and solutions for advancing campus and community sustainability efforts
How we can create learning and teaching opportunities that allow students and community members to work together on current environmental, social and economic issues
Expected to draw approximately 2,100 participants, AASHE’s annual conference remains the largest stage in North America for sharing effective models, policies, research, collaborations and transformative actions which advance sustainability in higher education and beyond.
