ANNOUNCEMENTS

Climate Change Conference: Making the connections
The Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future and the College of Agriculture
and Life Sciences are organizing a half-day mini-conference on climate
change for Tuesday, May 6th from 8:30-noon in Call Auditorium,
Kennedy Hall for faculty and staff. The invitation is being extended to
several colleges at Cornell.

The intent of the mini-conference is to help build bridges across disciplines
and departments, to let faculty and staff know what each other are doing and
to create the possibility for more collaboration, a necessary step to give
Cornell a higher profile in this important area with policy-makers, the
public, and potential funding agencies. The conference will consist of a
panel discussion covering assessment, adaptation, mitigation,
communication and policy and other relevant topics followed by breakout
sessions for faculty to provide input and brainstorm around identified topic
areas for potential collaboration.
