LRES presents "Engaging the Public in Science- Benefits and Pitfalls on the Path to Stewardship"

Engaging the Public in Science- Benefits and Pitfalls on the Path to Stewardship

Engagement, the two-way, mutually-beneficial interaction between the university and other communities, is consistent with MSU's land grant mission. This LRES seminar begins with a panel presentation by 4 LRES faculty with experience in engaging the public, and opens up to a discussion of what has worked or failed in the experience of the audience, as a way to better understand how to successfully engage the public with the goal of environmental stewardship.
