For the last four years Puget Sound has partnered with other regional higher education institutions to plan and host the South Sound Sustainability Summit and Expo. This annual event includes a public exhibition-style Expo inviting regional community members to investigate local sustainability programs and vendors, as well as an accompanying Summit event involving students, faculty, and staff members from participating institutions to address campus sustainability initiatives. Puget Sound hosted the event in 2009, its second year.
