Join the Office of Global Learning Initiatives for our Spring 2021 New York Times Keynote Lecture with NYT Journalist, Christopher Flavelle on Tuesday, February 23, 2020 on Zoom from 3:30 to 4:45 pm EST. Free event open to FIU community.

About the speaker: 
Christopher Flavelle is a climate reporter at The New York Times, where he covers how people, governments, institutions and businesses respond to the effects of global warming. He focuses on what climate adaptation means for home building, real estate, insurance, finance, agriculture and other industries, and the unequal effects of those changes. 

He received a 2018 National Press Foundation award for his coverage of the struggle to cope with flooding, and was part of the team of Times reporters who were finalists for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, for their coverage of the political war on science. He grew up in Toronto and now lives in Washington.

In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
