“MANY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM DECADES AGO, BUT IT TAKES TIME FOR GOVERNMENTS AND PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION. ONE BIG BARRIER TO ALL OF THIS WILL BE HOW MUCH OF THIS BECOMES POLITICIZED.” our faculty, students, collaborators and strategic partners will all be able to watch as we leverage our strengths, resources and connections. Please join us as the University “thinks big” to accelerate critical research efforts and contribute to global solutions to sustain the health of our land, our waters, our health, and our future.
