General Information

Students and teachers, grades 9-12, were invited to participate in the 16th annual High School Conference on the Environment. The 2007 event was the most interactive conference yet! The Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education at UW-Stevens Point is proud to host this leadership skill-building opportunity.

Each school could send up to eight students to the conference. Participants served as "ambassadors" from their school and were expected to bring a poster exhibit to share. Teachers were encouraged to recruit students who have an active interest in the environment and who show leadership potential. Individual students or non school-based groups were also encouraged to participate. It was expected that all participants would remain at the conference for the entire program.

The cost of the conference, which included lunch, was $15 per person if postmarked on or before October 5, 2007 and $20 per person if postmarked after October 5, 2007. Groups were turned away due to high demand the past two years. Registration was processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The final deadline for conference registration was October 19, 2007.

Transportation support and substitute teacher reimbursement were available to a limited number of groups who registered early.
