Richard Finkelstein, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Professor of English, spoke in January at the 13th annual meeting of the National Conference on Science, Policy, and the Environment, held in Washington, D.C. His paper described the Climate, Environment and Readiness Action Plan (CLEAR) about which UMW has been in discussions with PD-16 area leaders. Also on the panel were environmental planners from the City of Philadelphia, and from San Francisco. In mid-February, the Dean also attended the annual meeting of the National Academy of Environmental Design to explore possible collaborations in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area.
