Everyone in South Arkansas is invited to submit a proposal for a session. We’d like to have representation from students, faculty members, businesses, organizations, and government, related to the idea of sustainability.

The conference committee invites you to participate by submitting case studies, projects, posters, papers, or abstracts of sustainability proposals to the conference. All accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings.
