A brief description of the event(s):

Earthday and Campus Sustainability Day are both held annually on campus. Both include activities such as speakers, sustainable chef demos, and often music attractions.

In addition, the Provost of the University holds a lecture series each year and it is typical that at least one of her speakers is a sustainability-related speaker. This past year, the Provost brought Van Jones to campus to speak on the Green Collar Economy. (http://www2.nau.edu/community/node/189)

This upcoming year we will be hosting a No Impact Week based off of Colin Beavan's book, "No Impact Man." We will be bringing Colin to NAU as a speaker for this week.
