We're excited to recap our recent Beyond Waste Student Summits at Agnes Scott College and the University of Louisville! These events transported students to Emergence University, a fictional campus where groups collaborated to build conceptual sustainability projects. These included new composting systems, reusable to-go proposals, a free store, and more! After an afternoon of program planning, troubleshooting, and leadership development, students presented their solutions to the "Board of Trustees" for feedback.

A big thank you to our sponsors, campus hosts, and attendees for making the Summits a success.
