CLIMATE CHANGE IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA – WHY SHOULD I CARE?
This pilot BMC MindTreks Forum will explore a subject affecting us now; one that will continue to impact generations to come: climate change in our own backyard, here in western NC. The forum will be moderated by Tom Fiedler, former Executive Editor of The Miami Herald, and Dean Emeritus and Journalism Professor at Boston University’s College of Communication. Local expert panelists will include Deke Arndt, James Fox, Scott Shuford, Amber Weaver, and Ben Teague (see panelist details below).
Held at Parker Concert Hall on the Music Center’s picturesque campus in the delightful Blue Ridge mountain town of Brevard, event patrons will also have the opportunity to enjoy a music interlude, to mix and mingle with the experts, and to enjoy the beautiful Music Center grounds.
