Penn State will host the Educating for Sustainability Conference on October 5-6 at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on the University Park campus. The conference will offer a wide array of panels on topics such as teaching and researching sustainability, developing sustainable practices on university campuses, and initiating leadership in sustainability. The conference will be held at Lubrano Park in part because it is the first baseball park in the world to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, a distinction that recognizes the structure for meeting high standards of sustainability. To attend the conference, advance registration is required and can be completed online.

Bringing together faculty and teachers from across the US, Canada, and Australia, the 14th Annual Leadership and Values Conference, Exploring the Meta-Values of Authentic Leadership: Moral Literacy in Action will bridge theory and practice to examine the role of ethics in education.
From an ethic of community (Furman) to the best interests of students (Shapiro and Stefkovich) to authentic leadership (Begley), participants will examine how best to bring ethics to bear on education.
Although there is a registration fee for the conference, come of the presentations are free and open to the public. Educators and pre-service teachers are welcome to join the pre-conference workshops.
