On Brown Campus________________
Campus Energy Symposia
January 31 from 3:00pm to 6:30pm
Do you study energy or environmental issues? Are you curious about what your colleagues are doing? Wish you could learn about it all in one place? The Environmental Change Initiative is organizing two rapid-fire symposia early in the spring semester to capture the broad range of campus research and activities in these areas.
Participants will each speak for five minutes (yes, 5 minutes) on the topic of their energy-related work using at most two PowerPoint slides for illustration. We expect research to be a prominent focus, but would also like to include action-oriented projects and the arts and humanities. The environment symposium will be scheduled for a date in March.
