Green Solutions Conference Draws Crowd 

More than 200 people crowded into the National Institute of Science’s Beckman Center at UCI to hear Schmid School of Science Dean Menas Kafatos, Ph.D. speak on “Hazards and Global Climate Change: Business and Economic Opportunities.” Dean Kafatos, who is also Chapman’s vice chancellor for special projects, was participating in the Green Solutions Conference, jointly sponsored by Chapman University, the University of California-Irvine, and California State University-Fullerton. The conference was the brainchild of Chapman’s James Coyle, Ph.D., Chapman’s director of global education, and was in response to Chapman’s Global Theme for 2008-2009: the environment and sustainable development. Chapman also sponsored the conference’s luncheon speaker, Linda Adams, Secretary of California’s Environmental Protection Agency.
