About Greening of the Campus	Connecting to Place
	Ball State University’s first four Greening of the Campus conferences in 1996, 1997, 1999, and 2001 each attracted 200 participants from about 30 states and a few foreign countries for a dynamic international exchange of ideas on environmental concerns. Greening of the Campus V provides a new opportunity to further explore the critical issues, problems, and solutions we still face on our campuses and in our world. We invite and encourage your participation in this global gathering September 18–20, 2003. Top of Page
	Overview
	This interdisciplinary conference allows people representing diverse areas in university communities to share information on environmental issues. These areas range from the practical day-to-day management of the physical plant to “green” curriculum development and “green” utilization of campus resources. The areas are bound by common concerns for achieving environmental soundness through safe and sane management of resources. The campus community can become a “green” model for society as a whole by gathering and sharing this information. Top of Page
	Why Participate?
	Participation in the conference can help you and your institution, company, or organization: Understand the potential for university and college campuses to influence the environmental impact of campus resources. Begin a strategy for viewing college and university campuses in a systems context. Learn about emerging environmental curricula in a variety of disciplines. Hear the latest developments in environmentally sound physical plant management techniques. Identify ways to connect the campus to the community. “This is one of the best conferences I have attended.” –2001 Participant “I learned that other universities are making good progress toward sustainability, which is inspiring even if my own university has a long way to go.” —2001 Participant “The conference is great. I am always looking for ways and ideas on how to improve the environmental stewardship of the campus.” —2001 Participant Top of Page
	Vital Link
	Our society needs ideas and actions that enhance the environmental health and integrity of the places where we live and work. Educational institutions are complex human communities that pose unique opportunities to explore, understand, and respond to the interrelationship of environmental issues. College and university campuses can be a vital link bridging current community needs and understandings with future visions. “Greening” directly influences every aspect of human culture. It impacts economic, political, technical, philosophical, and cognitive practices in a complex interweaving of ideas and actions. Management of environmental resources on college and university campuses can have long-term effects on the institutions themselves and on society as a whole. This is a unique opportunity to share effective ideas on environmental issues. Top of Page
