Environmental Policy Roundtable
Fall 2006

Thank you for joining us for such a successful semester! The seminar will reconvene January 27, 2007. Audio recordings and power point presentations for this semester's seminars will be made available shortly (i.e. sometime after finals!).

And just so you know... there's some pretty significant construction at Van Munching Hall blocking the main entrance, so you have to go through the business school or around the fences to the right. [Here is a map]
