    Dear SIM Academy “Active” Members:

    Are you concerned about the world’s increasing environmental and
    socio-economic sustainability challenges? Are you wondering whether your
    academic career is addressing those challenges within time and spatial
    scales that matter? Are you interested in brainstorming with other
    academic colleagues who are seeking to connect these sustainability
    challenges and their academic careers more effectively?

    If you answered “yes” to each of these questions, then an active,
    vibrant, and diverse group of ONE scholars wants you to join them Friday
    morning, August 1st, at 8am in the Penn. Convention Center (room 202B)
    for an inspiring and energizing Professional Development Workshop on
    “Urgent Academic Sustainability Management Action,”! This session will
    initiate, develop, and begin to implement ideas and actions on those
    sustainability challenges and opportunities that attendees believe to be
    both most salient and most addressable in their professional (and even
    personal) lives. Since academics play many professional roles in
    societies, including researcher, teacher, consultant, advisor,
    service-provider, and network/organization member, and, given that we
    are also family members, neighbors, consumers, and citizens, academics
    have multiple opportunities to influence both the direction and speed of
    sustainability efforts.

    Start your Academy conference experience this year with a commitment to
    sustainability action – join Marie-France Turcotte, Sanjay Sharma,
    Monika Winn, Yijun Xing, Gordon Rands, Suzanne Benn, Martina
    Linnenluecke, Yipeng Liu, Robert Perey, and yours truly, in
    brainstorming and action-forming urgent academic sustainability
    management solutions-for-results! All “Active” ONE, SIM, MED, OMT, and
    other Academy members are welcome!


    Mark Starik, ONE/SIM (and San Francisco State University)
