Northeast Campus Sustainability Consortium Conference 2012

April 2-4
Syracuse, NY

NECSC is a loosely-structured but highly functional regional collective of college and university sustainability practitioners. We get together once a year to share real-world experiences (good and bad), aspirations, plans and concerns about making our campuses, our institutions and our communities more sustainable. This is a moderate-sized conference, providing a maximum of hands-on experiences and a minimum of vendor blather. We hope you’ll contribute your real-world information, to help us make this a top-notch conference for everyone.
