University of Minnesota, Morris Chancellor Jacquie Johnson will be one of three university leaders nationwide to testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works in Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is a member of this committee, invited Johnson to testify on Thursday, April 3, during the Senate committee hearing on "Examining Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions at U.S. Colleges and Universities." Klobuchar visited Morris in January to tour facilities at UMM, the West Central Research and Outreach Center and the USDA Soils Lab.
The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. CDT in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and may air on C-SPAN. Visit www.c-span.org for program updates.
Chancellor Johnson's remarks will highlight UMM's efforts to eliminate the campus' carbon footprint by 2010. Her testimony will draw from the intellectual energies of UMM's students, faculty and staff in telling the story at the national level and articulating the achievement of national distinction for a rigorous public liberal arts mission.
Yale University President Richard Levin and University of California, Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau will also testify.
