A brief description of the event(s):
Yes, UMass holds major events with a focus in sustainability. One recent set of events in sustainability was the Seminar Series: Designing for sustainability in the Built Environment. The seminar series discussed the difficulties and solutions when constructing energy efficient classrooms and laboratories at a public institution. The seminar series kicked off a campus-wide dialogue about these exciting and far-reaching projects. Each panel discussion featured facilities planning/design professionals and a University of Massachusetts Amherst academic researcher.
We also co-sponsored a lecture series in Spring 2011 that included Naomi Oreskes (Climate Change), Kert Davies (Gulf Oil Spill), Jerry Melillo (Global Land Use patterns) and Nat Tripp (Connecticut River).
