Environmental Roundtable Series
Environmental Roundtables are facilitated discussions of important environmental issues, hosted by the Loyola University Environment Program. Facilitators include Environment Program students, faculty, and guest hosts.
The Environmental Roundtable series will focus on the challenges and opportunities that Louisiana’s communities and businesses face in responding to climate change and broader environmental concerns. Louisiana is particularly vulnerable to environmental impacts, but through collaboration, we can create opportunities for resilience and innovation. This series will explore a variety of environmental concerns and work to build understanding across the university and community.
