Shades of Green event comes to campus
Georgia College’s J. Whitney Bunting College of Business will host its week-long “green” career/issues forum this Fall with guest speakers from national and international companies.
The annual “Shades of Green” event is set for Friday, Sept. 30 through Friday, Oct. 7 at the university’s Milledgeville campus and at its Macon Center for Graduate and Professional Learning.
Open to the public, the forum will feature sustainability practices and career options in green building trends, sustainable urban planning, renewable energy, health care, the global food supply chain, safe water supplies and transportation.
During the discussions about green transportation and vehicles, the forum will feature the Chevy Volt, 2011 North American Car of the Year, for test drives.
“We’re connecting our students to industry professionals and bringing awareness about new eco-friendly techniques that companies are incorporating into our ever-growing green economy,” said Dr. Doreen Sams, Georgia College associate professor of marketing and co-organizer of the event.
Guest speakers and panelists currently scheduled include representatives worldwide.
