SyracuseCoE Symposium 2010 Explores "Restoring Sustainable, Healthy Communities"

Below, Roberta Brandes Gratz—urban critic and author most recently of The Battle for Gotham—signs books at the SyracuseCoE Symposium 2010, accompanied by Ed Bogucz, SyracuseCoE Executive Director. Next to Gratz and Bogucz, an Air Innovations HEPAiRx air conditioner/air purifier is demonstrated. More than 250 attended the Symposium over two days--Sept. 27 and 28--where Gratz was one of six plenary speakers who addressed topics relating to the Symposium's theme of "Restoring Sustainable, Healthy Communities." Said Gratz, reviewing the city's sustainability initiatives, "Here in Syracuse, you are demonstrating that you don't have to leave this city to live in a better one." Excerpts from Gratz's lecture have been published by The Post-Standard.
