New presentations for the Fall 2020 NRES Seminar Series were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, students watched and discussed five previous seminars available through the NRES YouTube channel. This semester featured past presentations by Dr. Jesse Nippert (Division of Biology), Dr. Trisha Moore (Biological & Agricultural Engineering), Dr. Lisa Harrington (Department of Geography & Geospatial Sciences), Dr. Jim Stack (Department of Plant Pathology), and Jennifer Vallenga (School of Music, Theatre, and Dance).
The seminar series helps us achieve our student learning outcomes by expanding students broad-based knowledge of natural resources/environmental science and by illustrating the commonalities (and differences) in academic perspectives for studying and solving contemporary natural resources issues.
This series, which was founded in Spring 2014, is focused on undergraduate students and was established to help build a sense of community, an appreciation for the breadth and depth of issues and approaches, and awareness of current research in natural resources and environmental science fields.
