EcoE Undergrads – This is a REALLY cool series of speakers for the HORT 499 1 credit course. While it’s not an approved elective at this time (we could potentially review in the future) for our SCI/PP coursework for the major, it would not be a waste of your time in regards to learning and speakers. It may be a great way to find an internship, research opportunity, and network/make connections. I’ve copied the speakers below for you so you don’t have to open the word doc: HORT 499, BUILDING SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY SEMINAR SPEAKER SERIES SPRING 2025, Friday 1: -1:50, 1 Cr. 0006 ALS Instructor: Al Shay, Senior Instructor level 1 Week One: Friday 4/4, Andony Melathopoulos, “Fable of the Bees: Sustainability for a society that oversteps its limits”.
