CEHS Student Dinner & Dialogue on Oct. 21

A re-imagined CEHS student research fair debuts on Friday, October 21 from 4-7 p.m. at the Nebraska Union on City Campus.

Roundtable conversations will revolve around one overarching question that is intended to transcend departmental boundaries: What does it mean to create, lead, access, nourish, develop, prepare, and/or commune in 2016?
