Carolina North movie!

Holy smokes! Have you visited the online home of Carolina North recently?

If not, I recommend you hop on over to: http://cn.unc.edu/

Why the excitement? Let me quote the webpage:
"This research-driven entrepreneurship will take place in a highly green environment, one specifically designed to be a model of sustainability and to take advantage of the latest technological developments."

And the video really brings that theme to the forefront! Watch closely for the abundance of working landscapes (e.g. natural stormwater management areas) and green roofs. Click here to view the streaming movie (may require RealPlayer).

Did you know that you can enjoy the Carolina North campus now - even before the first building is built? The 750 acres of woodlands currently have trails that can be responsibly enjoyed by all. And it's just a quick bus ride from Franklin Street! Learn more at: http://www.fac.unc.edu/AboutUs/ShopsDepartments/Grounds/CarolinaNorth/tabid/259/Default.aspx

UNC's Center for Sustainable Enterprise in the news

The Center for Sustainable Enterprise (CSE) at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School received high praise recently as "one of the top ranked schools in terms of course content" in an article on GreenBiz.com, a well known sustainable business website. You can read the article, which includes an overview of the CSE's sustainable business accelerator program, at:
