Seminar 13A - How to Go Green: Sustainable Computing in Higher Ed
PLEASE NOTE: Separate registration and fee is required to attend this seminar.

This seminar will focus on green computing in higher education. It will provide an overview of the topic, focusing on how sustainability needs to be an integral part of IT engagement and planning for campus initiatives, from new buildings, to new system implementation, to broader initiatives geared toward creating an environmentally sustainable world. The seminar will offer practical roadmaps and resources, including specific systems and actions, new data center designs, and tips on user education, as well as how to document the financial advantages of sustainable design and processes. In addition, we will explore some directions for the future. The seminar will include panel discussions and presenters from the University of Michigan, MIT, Duke, Brown, Princeton, and other institutions.
