Whether you stayed in St. Louis or traveled during Spring Break, I hope that you are energized for the remaining weeks of the semester. I am excited about upcoming events that have been organized through partnerships of the Center for the Environment with other WashU organizations. By co-hosting events we can draw larger and more diverse audiences than any organization could accomplish on its own.
In partnership with the Harvey A. Friedman Center for Aging, we are excited to co-host the Friedman Lecture “Climate Change in an Aging World” on April 5. The Ecology Now! series continues with events this Wednesday at the Kemper on art and the climate crisis and Thursday on fracking, earthquakes and public science. This series is a partnership of the Program in Public Scholarship, the Center for the Humanities, the Kathryn M. Buder Center, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, and Science in the Public Square, and the Center for the Environment.
As we look to the next academic year we are planning programs with the six members of our Council of Partners. They are the Center for Aerosol Science and Engineering, the Center for Water Innovation, the Living Earth Collaborative, the Midwest Climate Collaborative, the Office of Sustainability, and Tyson Research Center.
I have mentioned many different WashU organizations in this message (thirteen by my count). Through intentional partnerships we do not march to thirteen different drummers. Instead we become a rich ensemble of thirteen different instruments.
