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):
Our campus constantly has events focusing on sustainability.
UMM hosted the Upper Midwest Association of Campus Sustainability conference (umacs.org). This was the largest UMACS conference to-date, and a significant investment of Morris staff and student involvement.
A GLBT summit was held on campus with a particular focus on sustainability. In included tours of our green energy facilities and a keynote speaker, Winona LaDuke, who spoke on sustainability issues.
Each year we have a large Earth Week celebration. One of the highlights of the week is the annual Trashion Fashion show, where students showcase their outfits made by hand out of recycled materials. Last year's celebration also included "green"-themed presentations by Chris Farrell of NPR and Jim Farrell from St. Olaf.
