(Keweenaw Now file photo © 2006 Michele Anderson)The poster show serves to strengthen the network of scholars and community members interested in the important topic of environmental sustainability. This event coincides with the annual meeting of SFI’s Advisory Board made up of representatives from Caterpillar, Dow Corning, General Motors, the Great Lakes Commission, Los Alamos National Laboratory of the Department of Energy, Nelson Mandela School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Southern University and A and M College, and the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)-Forest Service.
SFI is also accepting efforts of community people who wish to make a poster that reflects some aspect of sustainability research or education. Poster topics can range from definitions of the term "sustainability" to public service announcements about sustainability-related topics to research results that illustrate some aspect of sustainability. Poster session presenters do not have to be members of SFI to present their posters.The public is also invited to place votes for the Best in Show Award. Anyone with an interest in sustainability is invited to display a poster in the annual poster show. Please send one-hundred word abstracts to Laura Walz,
llwalz@mtu.edu, by Oct. 1.

The poster show is sponsored by SFI with generous support of the Graduate Student Council.
