• June 2013: In partnership with Earth Common Journal and the School of Business UN PRME Regional Meeting, the Office of Sustainability hosted Sustainability 3.0, a pre-conference event with Dr. Robert De Vrind, Senior Advisor for Sustainability at the Koning Willem I College in the Netherlands. The event was sold out with 100 registered guests who also participated in an interactive session on cradle-to-cradle product re-design.
