I am pleased to announce that the Council on the Environment has established an annual Environmental Lecture Series. Our inaugural speaker is Lester Brown, founder and president of the Earth Policy Institute. Please see the announcement that is attached and please feel free to share with colleagues, family and friends. I am quite pleased to have such a world leader of environmental issues who is also a former graduate of the university and a member of the University of Maryland Alumni Hall of Fame address the university community.
On Monday November 12, 2012 we will begin with a reception at 4PM in the CSIC Atrium.
Dr. Brown's seminar will begin at 5PM in CSIC Lecture Hall 1115 with introductory remarks from Senator Joseph Tydings and Professor Herman Daly.
I am confident that Dr. Brown’s talk will inspire the Maryland community to think about how we can apply our education, expertise, and talents to address issues in our collective future in such areas as food scarcity, whether that is through educational pursuits, research initiatives, partnerships with the private sector, or individual outreach.
Cheers..Tony
