Sustainable Actions for a Sustainable Future
2009 Public Affairs Conference
Missouri State University

As a result of our technologys carbon burning, we face climate change that has potentially devastating consequences for all the generations to come. We have to change how we live, and fast.

Kim Stanley Robinson will discuss how we can do that and share recent findings in several different scientific disciplines to suggest how this necessary set of changes could be very good for us as individuals and as a world civilization.

Robinson, a science fiction writer, has published 14 novels and four story collections. His works have been translated into 23 languages and earned literary awards in four languages, including science fictions Hugo and Nebula Awards. He was named a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment in 2008. His latest novel sequence, Science In the Capital (Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty Days and Counting) describes a near future in which the federal government, and everyone else, tries to deal with abrupt climate change.

His presentation during the conference is dedicated to the memory of Dr. William Burling, former professor of English at Missouri State and noted author.

Be Sure to Watch in High Definition

Scholars House Hall Council members gathered in front of the PSU to paint a window for this year's homecoming theme.
The theme for 2008 was Living the Legacy: Becoming Legends.

Scholars House' take on this theme was emulating the great legends of Greek mythology and the Greek Scholars.
Carrington Hall is the figurehead of Missouri State university with its 4 Greek-style columns on its facade. This symbol of learning is placed on Mt. Olympus of Greek mythology so as to represent the importance members of the residence hall place in scholarship and learning.
