The 18th annual Net Impact Conference, 2020: Vision for a Sustainable Decade, hosted by the Ross School of Business, drew more than 2,500 participants to the U-M Campus in October 2010. The event focused on how business solutions can pave the way toward a radically more sustainable 2020.

University Housing contributes to an energy efficient campus with “green” enhancements in residence halls including extra insulation, window glazing, occupancy sensors, variable speed fans and water flow controls.

U-M is investing $30 million over five years (2007-2012) for 100 new tenure track faculty members to expand interdisciplinary research and teaching, especially in the areas of alternative energy and environmental sustainability.
