Stony Brook University has long been a proponent for positive change by partnering with the community to develop a sustainable culture. The campus serves as a real-world setting for student interaction, and develops sustainable programs and services as a way to decrease the university's impact on the natural environment. As part of April's Earthstock celebration, sustainability leaders gathered to discuss initiatives and challenges as the university works to create a greener campus experience. The panel discussion "Energy Campus Initiatives: Plans and Dreams for a Sustainable Campus," was moderated by Malcolm Bowman, professor of marine sciences at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Terence Harrigan, associate vice president for the Department of Campus Operations and Maintenance, spoke of Stony Brook's energy reduction efforts. "We've been very active the past 20 years," said Harrigan. "We've been able to flatten our consumption curve and load, but there's still lots to do
