Lafayette students involved with SEES and LEAP presented posters on Friday, Feb. 20th at the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges Sustainability Conference.

There was some great speakers and break out sessions including keynote speaker John L. Cusack, the founder of Gifford Park Associates, Sodexho representatives, and Matt Steiman the Biodiesel Plant Manager and Assistant Farm Manager of the Dickinson College farm!

There was also a poster contest for students to display various campus sustainability efforts!  We had the biggest showing of any of the colleges with 9 posters and 11 students present at the conference!  The poster I presented entitled “Creating a Sustainable Food Loop at Academic Insititutions through Food Waste Composting and Organic Vegetable Production” placed second in the student poster contest.  Yay Lafayette!
