The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) will formally introduce its report on the potential for energy efficiency and demand response in Ohio and the economic benefits. Invited speakers will discuss the recommendations, the potential economic impacts, and what it all means for Ohio.

The recommendations in this report are meant to serve as a basis for discussion and help guide policy makers as they move forward with  implementing energy efficient-related legislation. A proposal for action for the Ohio legislature is the next step in the initiative. A roll-out to the broader community will commence with Editorial Board meetings, to which interested stakeholders will be invited.

10 to 4pm

The Ohio Art Education Association, Higher Education Division, hosts the Ohio Arts Research Symposium: a one-day event that explores recent arts education research, issues and challenges across Ohio.

A dynamic group of OSU graduate student leaders have been working with their professors to create a constructivist approach to exploring arts research regarding public, private and/or non-profit interests, and including community arts, K-12 schools, nonprofit and statewide service organizations, among other sites of cultural (re)production and reception.

The Ohio Arts Research Symposium has been designed to create space for group discussions, exploration of research methods, identification of research needs in the field, and opportunities for sharing emerging ideas or projects that have yet to be fully defined. The goal for the day is not simply to share research, but to create dialogue between graduate student researchers, practitioners in the field, faculty and professionals across arts disciplines.

This symposium is FREE and includes lunch.
