Dear University of Michigan Colleague,

On behalf of the MUSE Organizing Committee*, you are cordially invited to participate in the inaugural Michigan University-wide Sustainability and Environment (MUSE) conference and workshop, to be held February 9-10, 2017, on campus at the Palmer Commons. The purpose of the gathering is to foster connections and new collaborations across the broad suite of sustainability and environment-related research at the University of Michigan. We welcome involvement from all those advancing knowledge on related topics, including those in the humanities and the social, physical, natural, and engineering sciences. MUSE will bring together graduate students along with University leadership, faculty, and research fellows for a mixture of interdisciplinary lectures, panel discussions, poster sessions, and network- and skill-building activities.

Registration for the conference is now open! Registration is free, but space is limited, so please register only if you plan to attend the full conference on Feb. 9-10.
