StraightTalk Series: Connecting Values and Career to Action

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, the top climate scientist for The Nature Conservancy and evangelical Christian, will share how our values connect to climate action and why it’s important for us to talk about our changing climate regularly. Three dedicated climate leaders, Furman professor of sustainability science Dr. Geoffrey Habron, The Nature Conservancy in South Carolina executive director Dale Threatt-Taylor, and the Environmental Defense Fund’s senior manager of federal affairs Emily Wirzba ’13, will speak about how their values and work connect to climate action, and how students can bring their passions and interests to the climate action movement.

6:30 – 7:45 p.m. in McAlister Auditorium (afterward, enjoy dessert reception and engagement expo during which you’ll learn about the climate-related work happening at Furman.)
