In an effort to be environmentally responsible, the Science and Technology Directorate is “going green” by providing limited hard copy materials for the 4th Annual DHS University Network Summit. The program book is posted online and will also be provided on CD at the registration desk with other Summit materials. The Office of University Programs would like attendees to assist in the “going green” efforts by printing only materials that are of interest to them, rather than the entire Summit program book. Your cooperation in preserving the future is greatly appreciated.
