ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥

Close your eyes and think about sustainability. What images and colors come to mind? Perhaps you see green, outdoorsy images of the natural environment. But as we work toward a greener future, we’ll also see metal and concrete — brown and gray — people and labs, bricks and batteries, communication and ideas.Ìý

Sustainability is critical for the future of communities and the broader world, and its efforts are driven by entrepreneurs, scientists and creative thinkers.

ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s focus on sustainability also zooms in on the individual. It asks: What does it take for people to thrive as they pursue their passions? A multi-layered approach must be thoughtful, methodical, collaborative.

Inside this issue, you’ll find the stories about advancing sustainability in areas that include renewable concrete, 3D printing and more holistic practices for musicians. And there are a few treats, including a personal essay about the Dark Horse and a story about ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s No. 1 superfan:ÌýPeggy Coppom (A&S ex’46).

Happy reading!
