The California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC), hosted by the Associated Students of San Diego State University invites students, faculty, staff and administrators from campuses throughout California to submit a proposal to speak; present a poster; or receive an award at this year's conference.

The Higher Education Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Awards aim to:
  1. Highlight the achievements that California campuses have made through innovative and effective energy efficiency projects and sustainable operations;
  2. Showcase specific projects as models to be used by other campuses to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability goals; and
  3. Provide campus staff with a compendium of Best Practice projects that could be transferable to their campus. 
Award Nominations are due March 7. For more information about the different nominating categories and to fill out a nomination form, check out their website.
