The Richard Rood Retirement Convocation and Celebration
Professor Richard Rood
Join us to celebrate the retirement of Dr. Richard (Ricky) Rood!
An organizing committee of Professor Rood's former students have put together a unique program that features a sampling of students who he has advised or who have taken his classes. The program will focus on what those who are working in climate change and sustainability are doing professionally, how they got to their current positions, and how they envision the future working and living in a rapidly changing climate.
Our students and alumni would like to foster a rich dialogue with everyone in attendance on the issues facing our changing climate. Please consider their questions on the attached agenda.
Emcees Kim Frauhammer and Emily Upton will kick off the event with a panel of alumni followed by former and current students, faculty, and friends in a more open conversation.
This opening event will be followed by a lecture by Professor Rood, “Addressing Our Climate Future: It is what we know best.”
He will be introduced by Professor Rosina Bierbaum of the School of Environment and Sustainability, who has been a leader in addressing climate change in both government and academia.
A reception with an open mic, refreshments and drinks will follow.
