2008 President's Fall Address
In his annual Fall Address, Colorado State University President Larry Edward Penley announced that the University aims to be carbon neutral by 2020.
The goal is part of Colorado State's leadership as the "Green University" where students, faculty and staff serve as a role model for environmental stewardship, develop programs to train the growing green workforce, and create alternative energy solutions that directly help to solve some of the world's most pressing environmental problems.
President Penley addressed the campus community, Fort Collins area leaders and invited guests on from a solar-powered stage on the University's historic Oval.
The address focused on the next five years as well as highlights of the previous five years.
