Bill McKibben and Ambassador Joe Wilson Speaking at Iowa State This Week

There are 2 lectures being held at Iowa State this week that I am going to try and make it to and I thought I would pass along the info.

The first one takes place on Sunday, Feb. 18th. and features environmentalist Bill McKibben. The event takes place at 8 pm at the Great Hall at the Memorial Union. The lecture is called Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future. You can find more details about the lecture and McKibben here.

On Wednesday, February 21st, former Ambassador Joe Wilson will be speaking at 8 pm at the Sun Room in the Memorial Union. Wilson's been pushed into the spotlight when the employment of his wife - CIA Operative Valerie Plame-Wilson - was revealed. Wilson's speech is titled, Dissent in Our Democracy and you can find more info here.

And a reminder that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame is scheduled to speak at the University of Iowa in March.
