This Week @ AU

The first Green Lunch of 2010 will be on Wednesday, Jan. 27, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in room 2218 in the Student Center. The guest speaker is John  Ackerman, assistant professor of national and international security studies, Air Command and Staff College, Maxwell Air Force Base. Ackerman's talk is titled "Climate Change, National Security and the Quadrennial Defense Review: Avoiding the Perfect Storm." By examining how changes to the Earth's climate and natural environment pose a serious threat to America's national security, Ackerman will then discuss responses that the Department of Defense could develop, integrating sustainability and the democratic peace theory, to avoid the worst outcomes. This event is open to students, faculty, staff and the community. Participants should bring a lunch. For more information, e-mail sustain@auburn.edu or visit this Web site
