The 6th annual gathering of students from Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania (and sometimes beyond!) at the Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College! Attendees either are or aim to be sustainability leaders on their campus, and often are coming from a Christian faith perspective, seeking to connect faith motivation to sustainable action. This is a terrific opportunity to network with peers, enjoy a retreat from campus, and gain some new knowledge and skills to aid in your sustainability efforts.
Our theme this year is...EDUCATION! How do we stay up to date on sustainability issues and solutions? How do we educate others on these pressing topics? Is education just for teachers? (spoiler alert: nope) We will explore these and other questions as we interact with each other and experts in the field.
This year's keynote speaker will be Karl Duchmann Jr. of the Hoosier Environmental Council. He will participate in the whole weekend, and then close the event with wisdom about educating diverse audiences and building coalitions.
