Meeting the Environmental Neighborhood at Brown
Wednesday, October 15th, 5:30-7PM
Urban Environmental Lab (UEL), 135 Angell Street
Please join us for food (from Kabob and Curry) and conversation. Our goal is to foster communication among the broader community of individuals on and off-campus at Brown, who have overlapping interests in the environment. We anticipate that faculty, staff, and students from Environmental Studies, Geology, History, Sociology, Economics and other academic units will attend. This will be a great opportunity for students who may be interested in concentrating in Environmental Studies to see the wide range of options for study and research in issues related to the environment.
