“Sustainability and Promotion Workshop”
Created in the Fall 2008, the committee was originally chaired by Dr. Conrad Bergo. During the Spring 2009 the committee held a workshop called  “Sustainability and Promotion Workshop”. This workshop was designed for both current faculty and those who plan to teach. It explored ideas on incorporating information on environmental issues into curriculums, offering practical applications and best practices.  As part of the new Sustainability Commission at ESU and the Curriculum Subcommittee, the workshop included presentations by ESU educators, community leaders, and students actively involved in sustainable and environmental issues.

 Throughout the day, the workshop offered ample time for discussion and networking of ideas.  Participants were also invited to view displays and demonstrations by Students for Sustainability. Workshop speakers were Trish Attardo (Watershed Specialist for the Monroe County Conservation District), Cindy Chardiet-Vojnovic,
(Graphics Center, ESU), Joni Oye-Benintende 
(Art Department, ESU), Patricia Kennedy 
(Communication Studies,ESU), Margaret Persia
(Hotel Restaurant and Tourism Department, ESU)
