The Sustainable University IdeaLab at Rochester Institute of Technology will be held from Wednesday, Jan. 4, through Sunday, Jan. 8.
More than 50 college students from around the country have been invited to collaborate on ideas to help universities reduce their large ecological footprints and save money.
During the workshop, students will learn how to develop and commercialize products and innovations that address sustainability issues. Student teams with the best ideas could receive seed grants of up to $1,000, and will return eight weeks later to pitch their businesses to potential investors.

In addition to undergraduate and graduate students from RIT, students from Syracuse University, Clarkson, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Cincinnati, University of Rochester, University of Pennsylvania, Jefferson Community College and Cooper Union will participate.
