Six Impossible Things: Fourth Annual Sustainability Conference

On March 8, Argosy University will hold its Fourth Annual Sustainability Conference at the Eagan Community Center. This year's theme is Six imPossible Things.  The morning session covers the topic of extreme weather and its impact on Minnesota. Craig Edwards from MPR and the National Weather Service will be among the speakers. In the second session, Wade Miller from Wenck Associates, and Deb Pangerl from Medtronic will talk about innovating for sustainability in an environment of no or scarce resources.  Finally, at the noon session, three individuals who have made a difference will give us their stories: Linda Miller who created Civil Society, a non-profit focused on human trafficking in Minnesota; Scott Saehr from Smude Enterprises who will talk about the transformation of a traditional Minnesota family farm to a sustainable enterprise; and Akinyi Menya Williams who created a global non-profit while a student at the University of Minnesota. Each story is an inspiration, but Linda Miller’s talk is especially timely given the increase in underage trafficking seen because of the oil boom in North Dakota.  Hope to see you on March 8, but if not, please help us by passing the word.
