Please join the Faculty of Extension on November 2 from noon to 1:30 pm to celebrate the publication of a series of four scholarly manuscripts, each of which provides unique insight and expertise into the challenges and opportunities for creating prosperous, sustainable, and resilient communities.
The session will begin with a brief introduction to each book, followed by a conversation about the pathways they propose for strengthening our communities and municipalities. We will conclude with a short reception - coffee and snacks provided.
