This March 24-25 the University of Arizona will host the inaugural Arizona
Higher Education Sustainability Conference (AHESC). AHESC will focus on
advancing sustainability in higher education and the community through the
sharing of best practices, presentation of cutting edge examples of creative
solutions to common challenges unique to Arizona, and the development of
regional collaborative networks. 

The conference has a lot to offer students. There are workshops and
presentations exploring new techniques to improve sustainability literacy on
campus and in the community as well as formal networking with keynote
speakers and sustainability leaders in industry, government, and the
nonprofit sector in addition to conference attendees from other universities
and colleges in Arizona.
