From an earlier press release:
"Depelteau’s talk will discuss climate change as a global phenomenon and how it
threatens the environment and ecosystems of the world. 'Climate Change challenges the health and well-being of today’s population and
of future generations,' said Depelteau. 'The intent of this talk is to initiate
an ongoing dialogue by examining the definition of climate change and what we
already do know. We will also explore factors contributing to the acceleration
of climate change, the key environmental and societal impacts, and steps we can
take to reduce climate change. Yes, we can make a difference!'
Once the biology education coordinator and manager of a Howard Hughes Medical
Institute grant at ETSU and a former teacher of Biology, Forensics and Anatomy
and Physiology, she is adept at designing, delivering and assessing
interdisciplinary student-centered curriculum. Before coming to ETSU, Depelteau
was a business owner, health care provider and consultant in Massachusetts and
California for over 26 years.
Depelteau’s
passion for the environment was ignited when she read Rachel Carson’s Silent
Spring for an ecology course in 1971. She did her graduate work in
Environmental Toxicology at the Center for Environmental Toxicology and
Pathology at Albany Medical College and at Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute."
