Dear University of Michigan Colleague,
On behalf of the MUSE Organizing Committee*, you are cordially invited to participate in the 2018 Michigan University-wide Sustainability and Environment (MUSE) Conference, to be held February 14–15, 2018, on campus at the Michigan League.
Registration for this year's conference is now open! Registration is free, but space is limited.
The registration deadline is Monday, January 29. Click here or go to http://muse-initiative.umich.e
You may also register separately for our public reception on February 15 at Zingerman's Greyline by clicking here. You do NOT need to register for the conference to attend this public reception, but if you plan to attend the conference AND the public reception you must register for both.
About the conference:
The annual flagship event of the MUSE Initiative, the MUSE Conference provides a unique venue for sharing research, building new connections, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among all members of the University of Michigan community engaged in the broad range of sustainability and environment-related research. We welcome the involvement of U-M graduate students, as well as University leadership, faculty, and research fellows from all disciplines, including those in arts, humanities, engineering, and natural and social sciences.
The 2018 MUSE Conference will include interdisciplinary lectures by speakers including Susan Scotti Parrish, author of The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History, and Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Gold Fame Citrus, as well as panel discussions, a poster session, network- and skill-building workshops, and a public keynote address and reception at Zingerman’s Greyline event space.
