Environmental Studies

Writer and conservationist Adam Welz will read from his new book, The End of Eden: Wild Nature in the Age of Climate Breakdown, and speak of his reporting about the effects of climate change on wild species and natural ecosystems around the world. A deeply researched exploration of wild species reacting to climate breakdown, The End of Eden offers a radical new kind of environmental journalism that connects humans to nature in a more empathetic way than ever before and galvanizes us to act in defense of the natural world before it’s too late.

Come hear alums share their insights on the graduate school application and selection process. Panelists will represent diverse areas of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and related interdisciplinary fields, as well as myriad grad years and career aspirations. The session will be moderated by Professor Molly Costanza-Robinson (Chemistry & Biochemistry and the Program for Environmental Studies).

No registration necessary.

Come meet fellow Environmental Studies majors, minors, and faculty. Learn more about the major and opportunities in the program and get any questions answered prior to spring registration. Prospective majors and minors are also encouraged to attend. Apples, cider, and cider doughnuts will be served.
