The program is called "Preserving Ourselves: Local and International Perspectives on Climate Change Threats and Solutions."

It's sponsored by the Koeze Business Ethics Initiative in Grand Valley's Seidman College of Business.

The event is scheduled for Oct. 10 in the L. William Seidman Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus. To reserve a seat, email Robbi Osipoff at osipoffr@gvsu.edu.
