As part of Geography Awareness Week, the Geography and Planning Department will host a community roundtable panel on Tuesday, November 19, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. in Classroom Building A209. This year’s Geography Awareness Week theme is focused on the exploration of the multicultural elements of Buffalo.

Panelists include Barrett Gordon and Zaw Win from the WASH Project at Westside Value Laundromat, a local outlet that offers a range of opportunities and community services for Buffalo’s refugee communities, including those from Burma, Thailand, and Nepal.

Ba Zan Lin, environmental justice outreach coordinator for the Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper, will discuss recent efforts to educate local immigrants of the potential dangers of subsistence fishing in our local waterways.

Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend.
