ACTS would like to give a final thank you to the sponsors of this years conference. Without the support of these organisations, the conference would not have been as sucessful as it was.
ACTS would like to thank all who attended this years conference at Macquarie University, your involvement and contributions ensure that ACTS can continue to grow and be the best possible representative of sustainable campuses across Australia and New Zealand. A big thank you also goes out to Leanne Denby, Belinda Bean, Iain Brew, Michelle Shackleton and all the student volunteers from Macquarie University for their tireless efforts in organising the conference. We also thank our keynote speakers Leith Sharp, Professor Tim Flannery, Professor Steven Schwartz and Adam Spencer for contributing their time and extensive expertise.
Over the coming weeks the ACTS committee will be developing the ideas and recommendations that resulted from the discussion workshops at the conference. With the help of our members we believe that ACTS can become a driving force in institutional sustainability in the higher education sector.
We are already working towards expanding on the existing content available to ACTS members on our website. We look forward to receiving contributions from all our members as well as providing information on relevant programs, initiatives and opportunities.
Resources which have been recently added to the ACTS website can be easily accessed from the ‘Resources’ section of the homepage after you have logged in. Additions this week include:
On a final note, for those who were able to make it to the Conference Dinner, I think you would agree that we put ‘So You Think You Can Dance?’ to shame and may slightly regret signing the photography release form! A selection of images from the evening will soon be available!
