The all-campus introduction to the Summit meetings are done via the campus lisserv system, which is used frequent on our campus to alert people to meeting opportunities. The Morris Fall Professional Development Day also features sustainability topics and provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to learn more about sustainability on-campus and to discuss progress and ideas for improvement. The Morris Academic Staff Association also has a brown-bag lunch where sustainability ideas are discussed.
