The UMass Energy Transition InstituteSchool of Earth and Sustainability, and Clean Energy Extension invites you to the Campus Decarbonization forum!

Date: Friday March 27 | 2:30 - 4:30 pm

Location: Gunness Student Center, Marcus Hall

Description: Colleges and Universities often aspire to be leaders and innovators in the transition to clean energy.  However, with their district heating and power plants, these institutions face decarbonization challenges that are particularly expensive and disruptive to implement. At this event we will explore the challenges and look at what a few Universities have done, or plan to do, to transition their campus to clean energy. Presenters include: Alex Barron (Smith College), Suzanne Wood (UMass Chan Medical School), Shana Weber (virtually - University of Michigan, formerly Princeton), and Ezra Small (UMass Amherst). Presentations will be followed by Q and A. Kindly RSVP here if you plan to attend.
