During their visit, UCI students from the Global Sustainability Resource Center will take the high schoolers on a campus sustainability tour. The tour will also visit laboratories in the departments of Earth System Science and Physics, where students will meet with Drs. Kathleen Johnson and Franklin Dollar, two Native faculty members who are part of the host committee. After the keynote panel discussion, the day culminates with a Native Community Dinner to honor the visiting students. For more information about the panel, visit: http://sites.uci.edu/cultivatingconsciousness/. The panel is free and open to the public.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
