style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>More than 500 members of the
University and extended community came together throughout Day 1 of the
inaugural President's Sustainability Symposium focused on carbon, climate and
our environment. I am tremendously proud of the success of this event, which
opened an engaging public dialogue among decision makers in public, private and
non-profit sectors about how partnerships can make a difference in addressing
climate change. Idaho Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter added his voice to
the call for the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Idaho</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> and its sister
institutions to mobilize our resources and provide leadership on this issue.
Our task is to grow our capacity for scholarship on critical issues surrounding
climate change and to use that knowledge to educate the leaders of tomorrow. I
invite you to learn from the rich information and perspective we gained.

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>The Symposium's second day
turned the conversation inward, as faculty, staff and students discussed the
issues and their implications for implementation of the University's Strategic
Action Plan. Anthony D. Cortese, a leader on the role of higher education in
sustainability issues, ideas and practices, joined Provost and Executive Vice
President Doug Baker to facilitate the day. The group affirmed sustainability
as an overarching theme to enrich teaching and learning, scholarly and creative
activity, outreach and engagement and the structure, culture and climate of the
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName

strong programs and business practices with a sustainability emphasis that
already exist at the University. (See examples at <a

role in our ongoing efforts to inform and educate about sustainability, and I
am frequently amazed, amused and delighted by the creative ways they keep the
issue in the forefront. A few weeks ago, Art and Architecture students staged a
wearable art competition. Students were provided with a palette of supplies,
such as plastic grocery bags, trash bags and other things that normally would
be thrown away. Congratulations to Amy Probert and Rebecca Stucki, both of <st1:City
