Darrow's annual Sustainability Symposium brings together students and teachers from regional middle and high school green teams to learn about and discuss topics in sustainability, both local and global, with professional engineers, educators, diplomats, chefs, farmers, filmmakers, architects, spiritual leaders, health and wellness professionals, and more. The goal of the day is for participants to emerge with information, contacts, and strategies that they can return with and apply to their own education and work.

Last year's event drew 70 visitors and was the subject of a feature in the Hudson Register-Star.

The Fourth Annual Darrow School Sustainability Symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 24, 2012.  For more information about attending or becoming a presenter, contact Geoff Miller, Alumni Relations and Special Events Coordinator, at millerg@darrowschool.org or 518-794-6555.
