This semester, the university will celebrate that decades-long commitment while exploring the climate change crisis and other critical environmental issues through a series of speakers and activities under the theme “A Greener Shade of Blue.” Highlights include visits to UB by three of the world’s most influential environmentalists as part of UB’s Distinguished Speakers Series, including Jean-Michel Cousteau, ocean explorer and son of the late Jacques Cousteau (March 1); and former vice president Al Gore, who will discuss climate change, on April 27. Denis Hayes, who coordinated the first Earth Day in 1970, will speak on April 10. More
