[Meierdierck, Terra]

The New Jersey Higher Education Partnership for Sustainability (NJHEPS) will
be having a climate change event on Wednesday, 25 October, at the New Jersey
Institute of Technology (NJIT) campus in Newark. We will have students,
administrators and faculty there from NJIT and a number of our other 44
member colleges and universities. The goal would be to outline various
climate change action programs emerging nationally, regionally and in New
Jersey, and mention some of the ways it may impact NJ higher education
institutions, and then transition into NJIT's Technology & Society
presentation on "Winning the Oil End Game" by Nathan Glasgow.
