  Tom Kimmerer, the Executive Director of AASHE, gave a presentation at 9am entitled Overcoming Barriers to Sustainability on University Campuses. His talk focused on the barriers that many campuses face when trying to initiate and become more sustainable. Examples include the lack of communication that sometimes occur between the operations side of a university and the academic or student side. This "landlord-tenant" relationship is seen very often. Operations at Universities like UK may be working on improving the sustainability on campus (like UK installing Interface carpet in the renovated student center) but it may not be known to students or others in the academic side. He shared examples of what other campuses such as Northern Arizona University are doing to address these barriers.
  
  There were also workshops and presentations on Sustainable Building Design from UK architecture , Food and Sustainable agriculture, two presentations on Sustainability 101, two showings of An Inconvenient Truth, Sustainability in Appalachia, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Cities and another presentation given by Tom specifically on the American College and Universities Presidents Climate Commitment.

  "What's important about what Middlebury is doing is that they are conveying an important message to their students, and those students are then going out into the larger world," said Tom Kimmerer, executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, based in Lexington, Ky.
