In 2010, we held the first in a series of sustainability symposia. The Precarious Alliance series was established by College President Dr. Joseph S. Brosnan as a way to encourage civil dialogue between people from all sides of the issues. The events bring together interdisciplinary perspectives to seek solutions. While each year the Precarious Alliance explores sustainability from a new angle the question remains the same. How can we meet our needs today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs?
