This event may be of interest to some of you --

Environmental Justice Panel

The Graduate Environmental Policy Forum invites you to a panel discussion on
local environmental justice issues and how you, as a UW student, staff, or
faculty member can contribute to the work being done on these issues. Five
panelists from the government, non-profit and academic sectors will talk about
their experiences working on environmental justice issues in the region.

Panelists include:

§ Kevin Burrell, Executive Director, Environmental Coalition of South Seattle

Division, Seattle Public Utilities

§ Running Grass, Environmental Justice Program Manager, EPA Region 10

§ Gregory A. Hicks, Professor of Law, UW Law School

The purpose of the event is to connect the UW campus community to environmental
justice issues and we hope this event will stimulate further conversation and
action on this issue at UW. The event will include plenty of time for audience
questions and informal networking.
