Tackle big subjects with short presentations in Earth Talks, a Ted-X style series of student-led talks on a variety of sustainability topics. Each talk is led by a Wake Forest student eager to share their knowledge, passions, or research with others in the university community.
All students, faculty, and staff are invited to join Earth Talks on April 15, from 5 – 6:30pm at Pugh Auditorium inside of Benson University Center. This year we will have seven talks, including:
