The University Students’ Council (USC) is excited to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be speaking to university students, faculty, staff, and the London community on Mar. 24, with his address highlighting the role natural resources play in our work, health and identity.
“More than just an advocate for the environment, Kennedy is an architect and agent of change in our modern world,” says Dan Moulton, the University Students’ Council Vice-President University Affairs. “Mr. Kennedy’s message, as a leading advocate for the protection of our natural world, is a topic that will surely resonate with members of our action-driven Western community.”
