Trip to CahokiaPHX
It is our pleasure to invite all of you to the Speed Conversations with Organizations on April 18, 2025, from 10-11:30 am at the WCPH, room 509. This event intends to bring together scholars and community organizations in a space to foster dialogue and potential collaborations. A lot of people have reached out to us, wanting to be more embedded in our communities and work with them on the current challenges of the Anthropocene. This event is a response to those desires. We would love to see undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members in the event. There will be snacks and coffee provided!
Lead by Paula Mirazo
