The 2007 Michigan Student Sustainability Coalition Summit will have 150-200 attendees from campuses across the state and will feature keynote speakers involved in clean energy organizing in Michigan, introductory and in-depth workshops on the impacts of fossil fuels and global warming, briefings on energy and climate policy at the state level in Michigan and basic and advanced skills trainings to empower students to organize for clean energy on their campuses.

I chose the "education" topic as my cause because that is precisely what I was struggling for. As an out-spoken student activist, I defended proper practices in the university environment. At Ohio University-- as well as countless other universities and colleges around the country-- the system is so extremely "top-down" that the students have absolutely no control over their education, the environment in which they live, decisions which are made on their behalf, as well as processes that are completed behind closed doors by administrators and trustees.
