(The poll is in on the ASEH website.)

Another idea might be a discussion of how to "sell" envirotech courses to our academic home institutions (at least for those of us who aren't free to design courses without approval and funding from the university) as well as to prospective students. I also hope the lunch meetings will be a permanent thing - I always thought the breakfast meetings were too short. Both of these suggestions are great ideas.

Where did you go? Did you do reading along with it? How did you integrate it into your course? I would also like us to think about "Envirotech-sponsored" sessions for future conferences. This is particularly relevant for SHOT conferences where SIG sponsorship carries some weight in getting a panel accepted. What topics might be of interest for the group as a whole? Maybe we can do some topic brainstorming, make a list, and then use the website to vote on them (or something like that).
