Indiana-focused conference, Environmental Justice, Next Steps - Environment Justice, Climate Change, and Racial Justice

March 25 - 26, 2021

The goal of this virtual conference is to create a regional action network on environmental justice by bringing together Purdue researchers, artists, scholars and stakeholders, and including peers working at research institutions across the state. Through the conference, Purdue will bring diverse scholars and leaders together to broaden the conversation on environmental justice with a focus Indiana and the Midwest by inviting researchers in areas including environmental sciences, racial & social justice, decolonization, engineering, law and environmental policy, and the visual and performing arts with the intention of starting long-term collaborations and conversations to maximize the impact of discussions moving forward.

Birck Conference Rooms

We have taken appropriate steps to reopen the conference rooms within Birck (with the exception of 1001 which continues to be used for storage during the pandemic).  The Birck conference rooms are available for scheduling through the BNC secretarial staff and via the normal Microsoft Outlook schedule, but please be aware they all have maximum occupancy limits.  The smaller conference rooms allow a maximum of 4 individuals, and the two atrium conference rooms allow a maximum of 5 individuals.  BRK 2001 continues to have a limit of 10 occupants.  Also please wear masks, wipe touch surfaces with disinfectant before and after use, and maintain social distancing even as you enter and leave the room.

Lost Item

A ring was lost last week (possibly in the men's bathroom).  If you find a silver ring with black lines and black dots please let Jaime Turner (jjturner at purdue.edu<mailto:jjturner at purdue.edu> | 765-494-3509) know so she can return to the owner.
