Second Nature and ENGIE invite you to participate in a campus sustainability “co-laboratory” event, hosted at Boston University.
The "Bring Your Own Problem" (BYOP) approach provides you and other campus leaders an opportunity to submit and present distinct energy and climate-related concerns faced by campuses in our region and work as a team to identify solutions.
With guest speakers Caitlin Holley from The Ohio State University and Dennis Carlberg from Boston University, you will hear first-hand how they each are approaching their energy challenges. Plus, you won't want to miss out on keynote speaker, Michael Webber, from the University of Texas, and an exclusive book signing at the end of the event where you will receive a free copy of his book, Power Trip: The Story of Energy.
We look forward to you joining us and putting our heads together to tackle the biggest climate-related challenges you face today!
