Since early 2010, the Freshwater Society and the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences have co-sponsored a stimulating lecture series on water and the environment. The lectures, known as the Moos Family Speaker Series on Water Resources, honor the late Malcolm Moos, president of the university from 1967 to 1974.
Mindy Lubber, an international leader in efforts by investors to lead and pressure companies to adopt sustainable businesses practices, will deliver the next lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1. Learn more and register to attend.
