Hello,
The Dean from the Faculty of Environment at SFU is hosting an exciting lecture series over the next two months that some of your students, parents and teachers might like to attend. The topics are both relevant and entertaining, and the evenings will be very informative.
The series features researchers and practitioners who explore some of the pressing social and ecological challenges we face. Each talk shares current research and includes perspectives from community members on applying this knowledge to local collaborations and initiatives to motivate change at individual, organizational and political levels.
The talks take place at SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings in Room 1900 and start at 7:00 pm. Attendance is free and open to everyone.
