Solar Power 2007 Conference

I was fortunate enough to attend the Solar Power 2007 industry conference in Long Beach, CA through a grant I received from the renewable energy department at WE Energies. I was at the conference from September 23rd-September 27th.

Summer Service Project

This past July, several members of the USM community* were involved in a FIRST EVER summer service -learning project at Gray's Academy in Milwaukee. In three short mornings, a beautiful flower bed surrounding the flag pole was prepared and planted, a second floor class room was painted, and a baseball field was measured and the baseline "carved out" via a sod cutter. All participants agreed that it was time well spent "doing good".
