The J. Whitney Bunting College of Business of Georgia College welcomes you to our Shades of Green Week website. The website is filled with important information and links to facilitate a great experience for participants in the SOG week beginning August 29th with a proclamation by the Mayor of Milledgeville Georgia and ending on the evening of October 7th when the EcoArt and Research Showcase are taken down.

Shades of Green, of Georgia College (GC), is a sustainability initiative begun by Dr. Doreen (Dee) Sams, Associate Marketing Professor, assisted by Gerri McCord, Career Advisor in the College of Business; and JaLynn Hudnall, Ravenwood Forest Consulting.

"Yesterday's solutions are today's problems, And, today's opportunities!"

When Dr. Dee Sams invited Carl Perazzola, Deputy Chief of the Corrosion Prevention arm of the US Air Force, to her classroom to speak on sustainability in 2008 he was an instant hit. Dr. Sams invited Carl back the next semester where, Monica Ospina from Seneca College in Canada joined him through an Internet feed.

From these early beginnings, visits changed to panels and panels to a Week of Shade of Green beginning on September 29, 2011 through October 7, 2011. Events will be held in both Milledgeville and Macon with guest coming to speak from as far away as California and Michigan and as close as Macon.
