Hosted by the University Students' Council (USC), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will speak to university students, faculty, staff, and the London community on Wednesday, March 24. His address will highlight the role natural resources play in our work, health and identity.
“More than just an advocate for the environment, Kennedy is an architect and agent of change in our modern world,” says Dan Moulton, the University Students’ Council Vice-President University Affairs. “Mr. Kennedy’s message, as a leading advocate for the protection of our natural world, is a topic that will surely resonate with members of our action-driven Western community.”
Tickets are available at the InfoSource in the University Community Centre and on the USC website at http://www.usc.uwo.ca/studentlife/Kennedy.asp. Tickets for students are $15 + tax and $30 + tax for non-students.
The event will take place at Alumni Hall with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. and the speech commencing at 7:05 p.m. In addition to his dynamic address, Kennedy will partake in a question and answer period with the audience.
“Mr. Kennedy’s arrival at Western is sure to be a memorable experience for students, faculty, staff and the entire Western community,” adds Moulton. “Kennedy is an internationally-recognized crusader against the continued deterioration of our planet, and has been named one of Time magazine's ‘Heroes for the Planet’ for his success in helping the RiverKeepers lead the fight to restore the Hudson River, as well as rivers and lakes across North America.” |
