We had a great time at AASHE: Sustainability on Campus and Beyond, and hope you did as well. The general feeling was one of determination, as members of universities and colleges from all over North America shared ways to make the campus a better model for resilient, sustainable living and extend those strategies beyond the campus borders.

In case you missed it (or in case you went into overload and threw your notes in the compost pile!), here are a few highlights from our own blog, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and a few other campus sustainability professionals:
