September 30, 5:30 p.m., Old Chapel
The Kelly Adirondack Center hosted a panel discussion at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 30, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The event was held in Old Chapel, and was quite successful.
The discussion, entitled, “The Role of Higher Education in Shaping Our Wilderness Future,” took an interdisciplinary approach in examining the role colleges and universities can and should have on this important environmental issue.
Panelists included: Bob Bullock, deputy director for operations at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government; Carl George, professor emeritus of biology at Union College; and Cathy Shrady, director of Outdoor Studies/Adirondack Semester at St. Lawrence University.
Philip Terrie, professor emeritus of American cultural studies and environmental studies at Bowling Green State University, moderated the discussion.
