Princeton University
What People are Saying
"Please join us at Robertson Hall for a day of debate and solutions-oriented discussions on how to nourish ourselves and the global population while protecting our Earth and its finite resources. We will explore the question by addressing two further questions: How can we use entrepreneurship to tackle this problem? How do we best leverage the full power of Princeton in this service?
Here's the agenda as it stands (expect some tweaking as we approach the date). But the good news is this: The symposium has been moved into Dodds Auditorium to accommodate the high interest it has generated. We also will simulcast to Bowl 16.
Details, speaker biographies, directions & logistics here.
