Does the institution hold major events related to sustainability, such as conferences, speaker series, or symposia, that have students as the intended audience?:
A brief description of the event(s):
UBC hosts various events related to sustainability with students as the target audience. One prime example is UBC Reads Sustainability, a program which selects leading sustainability books, integrates the books into courses, and then hosts the author for a public lecture series. This program aims to select four books per year. http://ubcreadssustainability.com/
Another example is the annual conference organized by the UBC Sustainability Initiative (USI). In 2010, the USI hosted over 325 students, faculty, staff and residents at the 'Our Campus as a Living Lab' symposium. The symposium offered presentations and conversations which explored the practical application of the living lab concept in UBC's campus life and campus systems. http://www.sustain.ubc.ca/CLLSymposium
