Environmental Policy Roundtable
Spring 2007
We will meet Fridays at noon in Van
Munching Hall, room 1113, unless otherwise noted.
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]
