Associate professor of biology Jason Hamilton presented "Envisioning a Sustainable Future: A Leadership Role for Higher Education" at the FOCUS the Nation: Global Warming Solutions for America seminar series. The event was hosted by Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York, in February.
Sustainability: is it just a buzzword? The latest feel-good idea? A new science? A unifying concept to envision a secure future? All of the above?
Jason presented a thought-provoking look at the current state of people and our planet. He explored the evolution of sustainability and the role it plays in dealing with our current environmental, social, and economic dilemmas. The presentation ended with a discussion of how the concept of sustainability serves as a compass to help move us, our institutions, and our country toward a more secure future.
