Alumni Weekend 2010: The Future is Green: Building Sustainable Urban Communities

"Going green" is about more than simply planting a tree or recycling a soda can. Achieving a sustainable urban community requires attention to public transit, infrastructure improvements, local agriculture, and much more.

This discussion addressed how cutting-edge science and technology, along with common sense, are creating increasingly sustainable urban environments.

Panelists included Eugenie Birch, Lawrence C. Nussdorf Professor of Urban Research and Education; Laura Blau, GAR'95, Principal Architect at BluPath Design; Gregory Krykewycz, C'00, Senior Transportation Planner for the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission; Anne Papageorge, Vice President of Facilities and Real Estate Services; and Matthew L. Scullin, C'05, Founder and CEO, Alphabet Energy, Inc.

This conceited woman should be called Queen Elizabeth II. She is nothing but a figurehead with little power and influence at the University. Her duties are more like ambassador.

Please joint the petition to remove this ineffective scourge from the University of Pennsylvania.

There is a VOID in leadership at the University of Pennsylvania.
