A highly anticipated presentation on global sustainability by Dr. Rajiv Thakur, professor of geography at Missouri State University-West Plains has been rescheduled to April 29, 2025. Originally slated for April 15, the event was postponed due to a last-minute personal commitment that will take Dr. Thakur off campus.
The presentation will now take place at 3 p.m. on April 29 in Melton Hall Room 115 on the MSU-WP campus. It is free and open to the public, and all interested community members are invited to attend.
During his presentation, titled “Science and Technology Policy for Sustainability: Our Planet, Our Future,” Dr. Thakur will share valuable insights into the role that science and technology policy plays in global sustainability. His expertise comes from his recent work as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science and Technology Policy Fellow at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) from 2022-2023, and at the U.S. Department of State in 2023-2024.
