CNT Fall 2010 Update

Hello fellow CNTers,

I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable (and not too stressful) semester so far. I’m writing with an update on the progress of our work from this past spring and summer. The complete GHG emissions report, which was reviewed by the Chancellor’s Cabinet, was submitted to the Presidents’ Climate Commitment website on 9/15. Since then, Dr. Hale and the Chancellor have been reviewing various options for the most effective way to bring our work to the rest of the campus community. One exciting possibility is that we may do a presentation during a visit to campus of the DNR Secretary!

Andi and I (along with Professors Boulter, Pierson, and Hale) want to open up this opportunity to any members of CNT 2010 who want to participate; it is a wonderful opportunity to “show off” our research and writing, and to begin to make the case for our recommendations. (It is also a nice way to add something to your developing resumes!)

We will be working on the final presentation and an updated PowerPoint in the very near future; if you are interested in helping with any part of this process, please contact me via email as soon as possible.

Laura
