Chris Dennis Memorial Sustainability Symposium

  • Physical Sciences Building, Atrium

Circular Economy at Cornell University is proud to announce the second annual sustainability symposium in memory of Chris Dennis.

The Chris Dennis Memorial Sustainability Symposium honors Chris Dennis '13, an International Agriculture & Rural Development (IARD) Cornell alumnus who passed away during his graduation week 11 years ago.

The panel discussion will focus on circular bionutrient economies and their potential to address environmental and agricultural crises around the world. Dennis was an early advocate for circular economies which have since become obvious solutions to some of the most pressing agricultural and environmental challenges we face today.
