  • Something's Brewing Input Request
    We have this idea to launch a program tentatively called, "something's brewing." If you think about it, we brew coffee, beer, trouble, and ideas. Well, we'd like to brew all of those at the same time and we need your help. We'd like to have panel and open discussions on big issues and we'd like those panels to be comprised of grad students from different disciplines to get different perspectives. For example, three topics we're thinking about is, "Solving the problem of post-industrial cities," "Fracking: economic boom or environmental bust," "Health-Care Reform--How it will change things." What do you think? Would you want to speak (v. casual, by the way), could you recommend someone, would you come? What other topics might you want to talk about? Please send any suggestions you have to ingrador@lehigh.edu or visit our facebook thread. THANKS!
