'The Ailing Heart of the Urbanscape: Its Causes and Cures’ is the theme of the 2012 symposium hosted and organized by Woodbury students. With the October 6th date quickly approaching, students and advisors are adding all the finishing touches.

The enthusiasm of students and success of last year’s event has inspired many to participate in the development of the organization and symposium. Members of the Woodbury family were inspired by the thoughtfulness and care students have shown towards our future and environment. Therefore, many members offered to advise and support the Advancing Sustainably (AS) team.
The Advisory Board consists of Woodbury faculty, alumni, and accomplished professionals working in the field. Each member of the board has an impressive academic and/or professional background with special interests in progressing sustainability movements in business, design, and lifestyle.
