President Stephen Ainlay will host the first "fireside" chat with students this term Monday, Oct. 29, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the pit at Reamer Campus Center.
Topics to be discussed include the College’s relationship with the city of Schenectady, and sustainability. Ainlay recently signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), which formally commits the College to reducing and eventually eliminating its global warming emissions. Union also promises to provide critical research and education that will help eliminate global warming.
Ainlay will be joined by Diane Blake, vice president for Finance.
The discussion will mark the official debut of the Class of 2007 fireplace, which was added over the summer near the exit into Jackson’s Garden.
Ainlay started the fireside chats last January during his first year as president and plans to host one each term.
The informal talks are sponsored by Student Forum.
