A Movement in the Making

So, after much hard work over the weekend, I think it’s pretty safe to say, the slide show for Year One of the Campus Climate Challenge is finally complete. I like to remember, this is a movement we are creating, but she was only born because there was no other way, that the timing was just at the breaking point…and here we are a few years later, a few more wrinkles and dark circles, and what have we learned…I’d say a whole lot, more I can ever explain. What will we learn this year? Sexy slide shows make the world seem like a better place, and the movement seem perfect- it’s not but we are past some of our growing pains and this year I think we are ready… are you ready?

This slide show is a representation of all the behind the scenes staff work on The Challenge. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Much love to all,
