Event

University of Maryland President Darryll J. Pines invites Terps to attend a unique series of virtual Presidential Distinguished Forums featuring renowned experts working at the forefront of today’s most pressing issues. From the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change to voter access and the social unrest that has led to the Black Lives Matter movement, current national and world events present unprecedented challenges, but also provide a meaningful chance to investigate today’s issues together and explore new and better paths forward.

On Monday, September 27 at 4 p.m., President Pines will be joined by Catherine Coleman Flowers, an environmental activist who has dedicated her life’s work to advocating for equal access to clean water and functional sanitation in rural communities across the United States. Flowers is a MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, founding director of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice and author of “Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret.”
