\"15-3911-EVT-Water-Lecture-Flyer_FINAL_280x230_withPicture\"<\/a>UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Carol L. Folt, an internationally recognized environmental scientist whose research has focused on the effects of mercury and arsenic on human and ecosystem health, salmonid fisheries management and restoration, and global climate change,\u00a0will deliver the lecture \u201cWater in Our World: Past Is Present, Future Is Fragile, But We Can Make a Difference\u201d at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium in the FedEx Global Education Center.<\/p>\n

The presentation is the culminating event for Carolina\u2019s first campus-wide theme, \u201cWater in Our World, \u201d which was brought forward by the Global Research Institute and embraced as a campus theme from 2012 to 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo arrive at Chapel Hill in the midst of the Water in Our World theme, a subject so close to my heart professionally and personally, made me feel even more\u00a0certain that Carolina was the place for me,\u201d Folt said. \u201cI\u00a0continue to be\u00a0inspired\u00a0by the way Carolina\u2019s students, faculty and\u00a0staff are taking on one of\u00a0our biggest global challenges in a truly collaborative way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Water has long been a subject of significance for Folt. Before\u00a0being installed as Carolina\u2019s 11th chancellor and first female leader in\u00a0October 2013, she\u00a0earned a\u00a0bachelor\u2019s degree in aquatic biology, a master\u2019s degree in biology and a doctorate in ecology from the University of California at Davis and completed postdoctoral work at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station of Michigan State University. She came\u00a0to Carolina from Dartmouth College, where she was a Professor of Biological Sciences, faculty member and administrator for 30 years. She\u00a0is also a\u00a0fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.<\/p>\n

The chancellor\u2019s lecture is co-sponsored by the Global Research Institute, UNC Global, The Water Institute at UNC, the Water in Our World steering committee and the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering.<\/p>\n

Jamie\u00a0Bartram, Don and Jennifer Holzworth Distinguished Professor of Environmental Sciences and Engineering\u00a0and director of The Water Institute at UNC in the\u00a0Gillings School of\u00a0Global\u00a0Public\u00a0Health, and\u00a0Peter Coclanis, Albert Ray Newsome Distinguished Professor\u00a0of\u00a0History in the College of Arts & Sciences and\u00a0director of the Global Research Institute, will provide introductory remarks. \u00a0The presentation will also be followed by a question and answer session and a\u00a0public reception.<\/p>\n
