Join us for the fourth annual Dow Sustainability Fellows Symposium on Saturday, November 18, 2017.

Dow Sustainability Fellows will showcase their work through an engaging poster session. And the Dow Distinguished Awards student finalists will present proposals, competing for $75,000 in additional funding.

The Symposium is a great opportunity to network with others interested in interdisciplinary sustainability research and practice.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
Dr. Yanna Lambrinidou, Ph.D., will deliver the keynote address entitled, “Sustainable engagement: Lead in drinking water and the urgency to reimagine technical experts’ relationship with the public.”

Lambrinidou, an affiliate faculty in the Department of Science and Technology in Society at Virginia Tech, is the founder of the non-profit children’s environmental health organization Parents for Nontoxic Alternatives. She is also a co-founding member of the national Campaign for Lead Free Water. Her work focuses on environmental health, policy, and justice; the intersection where scientists, engineers, and diverse publics meet.
