Spotlight: Leith Sharp

We'd like to note some of the key events, speakers and symposia for the conference, and today we'll note the appearance of Leith Sharp, an Education Track Master Speaker at GTH. Sharp, the Director of the Green Campus Initiative at Harvard, will speak from 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. on Monday, June 23.

We offer a link to Harvard's GCI here. It's an impressive effort.
