Important Note from the Instructor for Students Registered in MKTG 579 A/B & C/D (Cases in Sustainability) for Winter Quarter:

In the description of the class "Cases in Sustainability" schedule, we describe expert days on some Fridays. To accomodate our executive guest speakers, we now have commitments and will be combining both class sections for three special Friday meetings as follows:

• January 23, 8:30am - 3:30pm
• February 20, 8:30am-12:00pm
• March 6, 8:30am-3:30pm

To compensate for the class time, you will NOT have class on the following dates:

• January 27 & 28
• February 24 & 25

We hope this helps your planning by giving you a few months advance notice.

Brainstorm & Networking Event
Monday, December 1
3:30-6:30pm, Balmer Commons

December 1 is your chance to network with potential teammates and to get feedback from clean tech industry experts for the UW Environmental Innovation Challenge.

In order to show potential teammates your clean tech idea: Bring one slide on a jump drive that explains your project, describes what team members/skills you need, and contains your contact information.

No need to stay the whole time--feel free to just drop by! For more information, contact Pam Tufts at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
