    Dear ONE-Colleagues,

    Results: How can student action transform higher education institutions
    towards Sustainability? What alliances are needed and how can
    entrepreneurial thinking push action at the local University level? The
    first oikos award for student entrepreneurship in higher Education went
    to the University of California Santa Cruz for the “Education for a
    Sustainable Living Program (ESLP). As a representative of the ESLP
    Program, Marcia Winslade (UC St. Cruz) received the award at the oikos
    winter school on November 24, 2005. Congratulations! Read more about her
    and other benchmark projects at
