I had the great pleasure of attending and presenting at the annual AASHE (Association of Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education) Conference hosted in Minneapolis, MN, this year. Although it was somewhat overwhelming with the number of participants and presentations (>2,300 attendees from 17 countries including 49 states!), it was an excellent way to connect and network with fellow sustainability educators and administrators, and to meet passionate students. MCAD is delighted to be an AASHE member institution and to have been a host sponsor of the event in 2015. We look forward to attending next year’s conference in Baltimore, Maryland, from October 9-12, 2016.
