The State of the Rockies Project is in its seventh year, and seeks to increase public understanding of vital issues affecting the Rockies. All State of the Rockies events are free and open to the public, who are encouraged to join the ongoing discussion of the issues that affect our beautiful yet fragile region.
The 2009-2010 State of the Rockies Speaker Series
During 2009-2010 the Colorado College State of the Rockies Project combines its traditional monthly speaker series and annual symposium, resulting in a monthly food and agriculture symposium during the academic year. This year’s series will feature experts with thought-provoking insights concerning the state of agriculture and food. Over the months we will trace key elements that make food and agriculture so central to the environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of the spectacular but fragile Rockies region. Co-Sponsors: Colorado College Cultural Attractions Fund for financial support and Colorado College Student Garden Project. |
