Hello College Symposium stakeholders. My name is Bill Russell and I can be reached at wgrussell@sknworldwide.com. I was running around between Open Source gatherings and apparently did not leave an email for myself. I am an advisory board member of the University of Michigan's Erb Institute for Sustainable Enterprise and Fairleigh Dickinson University's Institute for Sustainable Enterprise in New Jersey. I look forward to working with each of you.
