Cornell Invasive Species Forum
Thursday, May 18th, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.
Whetzel Seminar Room, 404 Plant Science Building
Advance Registration Requested
Invasive species represent one of the greatest environmental challenges for the 21 century,
causing tremendous losses in agriculture and wild lands. The control and mitigation of effects of
invasive species requires not only an understanding of their basic biology, but also of the
environmental complexity of the habitats and interactions in invaded areas. The focus of this
forum will be on research at Cornell University, structured to inform and build collaborations at
Cornell, inform community members of our efforts, and begin to help develop a strategic vision
for the future. This campus event is being led by Anurag Agrawal of the Department of Ecology
and Evolutionary Biology and sponsored by the Center for the Environment. Those interested in
attending the forum are asked to please register by emailing MichÃ¨le van de Walle at
mjv28@cornell.edu.
For more information, please review the Invasive Species Forum website >>
Memorandum of Understanding
With the ï¿½Ãcole Normale Supï¿½Ã©rieure in Paris
To facilitate international academic exchange, to develop academic and scientific relationships,
and in support of collaborative research activities, Ãï¿½cole Normale SupÃ©ï¿½rieure, Paris,
France, and Cornell Universityï¿½s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as a framework for cooperative programs. This MOU
supports the intentions of Cornell University and ENS to form a strategic partner relationship
between Cornell University Center for the Environment (CfE) and ENS Centre
d'ï¿½Enseignement et de Recherches sur l'ï¿½Environnement et la Societï¿½ (CERES), that will
strengthen teaching and research in the environmental field and will broaden the international
experiences of the faculty and students of both institutions. For more information please contact
MichÃ¨ï¿½le van de Walle at mjv28@cornell.edu.
