A brief description of the event(s):
Stanford hosts a vast array of conferences and events targeted at engaging students in Sustainability. One example out of many is “Vision Earth,” the latest incarnation of an annual campus festival celebrating Earth Day, which was founded by a Stanford grad. This year’s Vision Earth festival lasted three days and included music, art, workshops, and lectures about sustainability. Another example is the Berkeley-Stanford Cleantech Conference, which is an annual conference co-hosted by Stanford and Berkeley that addresses renewable energy advancements. Stanford also hosts many lecture series each quarter dealing with the environment, including topics such as energy, climate change, conservation biology, and a wide variety of other subjects. The Stanford Energy Club maintains a comprehensive calendar of such events, both on- and off-campus and distributes this information to students, faculty, and staff (http://energy.stanford.edu/).
