The Campus Community Partnerships in Sustainability conference is held annually. At this past CCPS conference, Transylvania presented three sessions and participated in a panel. Transylvania also hosts a successful sustainability across the curriculum workshop for faculty. This past summer, the week-long workshop was opened up to faculty from other institutions. We had participants from Berea College and the University of Kentucky. A representative from the KY Community & Technical College system participated in one day. In 2011, a representative from Centre College joined us for part of a faculty workshop.
