The College and the University of New Hampshire received a $100,000 grant to support a cooperative college and university network which would help them meet environmental health and safety requirements at local, state and federal levels. The three-year grant, given by the Davis Educational Foundation, goes towards the New Hampshire College and University Assistance Cooperative. The grant supports audits at each institution to ensure environmental regulatory compliance, and will also fund the development of a website for the hiring and sharing of a student intern to assist with the audits and collect information. Michael Blayney, the College's director of environmental health and safety, said that the eventual goal of the network is to develop a comprehensive Environmental Management System for all New Hampshire colleges and universities, which each institution could adapt to its own needs. The EMS would include elements such as hazardous materials source reduction and substitution, emergency planning and transportation demand reduction.

Students at the meeting broke up into five subcommittees to handle various logistical aspects of the event. The meeting was conducted by Tess Reeder '08, the class council president.
