UMACS Conferences
UMACS hosts and co-sponsors events that work to foster sustainability in all aspects of higher education. Conferences are designed to appeal to any and all campus constituents interested in creating a more sustainable campus: students, professors, facilities and maintenance workers, dining services staff, just to name a few. We aim to offer workshops and presentations that provide insights and ideas for bringing sustainability to every corner of a college or university.

This year's UMACs conference was a huge success with nearly 150 attendees from 35 different colleges and universities gathering in River Falls, Wisconsin. The conference featured keynote addresses by Winona LaDuke and Paul Rowland, AASHE's executive director. Over 50 presentations during five concurrent sessions provided many nuts, bolts, and stories of success from folks working in the trenches of the campus sustainability movement. Beyond the formal program, the conference provided opportunities to network with faculty, staff, and students from more than 30 campuses from across the Upper Midwest.

Conference Theme: Nuts, Bolts, & Stories of Success
The 2010 UMACS conference will provide the latest in sustainability practices across a spectrum of hot topics, reinforced by case studies, stories, and posters from a wide range of campuses throughout the region. UMACS encourages faculty, students, staff, & administrators (individually or as teams) to register and attend the conference. This is an opportunity to hear success stories from other campuses, highlight your campus sustainability projects, and network with individuals working on sustainability on other campuses.
