Spring Semester 2009
The Environmental Events Calendar is compiled weekly during the academic year by the Department of Forest Resources, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, at the University of Minnesota.  It promotes environmentally related events of interest to students, faculty, staff, and the public.  The events include seminars, lectures, and related activities offered by many different departments and programs at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus.  These events are open to all.

The calendar for the coming week is posted every Friday on this website.  To have your University-sponsored event included in the calendar, send a complete description by Wednesday noon for events taking place the following week.  Include sponsor, title, speaker and affiliation, location, and time.  Email your information to enviro-events@lists.umn.edu

Every effort will be made to include all appropriate events with a direct connection to the University of Minnesota, but some will inevitably be missed because information about them was never received or received too late to be included.

CAFE SCIENTIFIQUE
The Psychology of Dieting
Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 7 p.m.
Bryant-Lake Bowl, Uptown
810 W. Lake St., Minneapolis
$5 – $10; pay what you can
University of Minnesota associate professor of psychology Traci Mann tackles what the diet industry doesn’t want you to know—the psychological and biological reasons why diets often fail. An expert on the self-control of health behaviors, Mann will discuss the studies she conducts in her eating lab and what the results tell us about successful—and unsuccessful—diet programs.

Exhibit: Wolves and Wild Lands in the 21st Century
May 23 - August 23, 2009
Through real wolf displays and photography by Jim Brandenburg, this provocative exhibit examines conservation issues facing wolves from the Arctic to southeastern United States. Developed by the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota, the exhibit tackles the questions: What can people do to make living with wolves easier? What are the financial and environmental costs of wolf predation on livestock? And will coyotes ultimately win out over wolves in the competition for food and space?

The Environmental Events Calendar is published weekly from October to June by the Department of Forest Resources, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, University of Minnesota. It lists events offered by many departments and programs at the University's Twin Cities Campus.
