The Sustainability Café on Monday, October 13, at 4:00 p.m. in room 115 in the Center for Natural Sciences will feature Ithaca College alumnus Brian Ohl '03, director of programs for INFORM. Ohl will speak about his experience promoting environmental issues in both government and nonprofit sectors.
INFORM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the effects of human activity on the environment and public health. INFORM's mission is "to empower citizens, businesses, and government to adopt practices and policies that will sustain our planet for future generations."
