Dr. Audrey Depelteau on Climate Change

Please join us this coming Sunday, May 4th at 9:45 as we host Dr. Audrey Depelteau who will speak on the evidence and potential consequences of climate change. Audrey participated a leadership training workshop on Climate Change Reality led by former VP Al Gore for the express purpose of providing community-based education and leadership on the topic.

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."
