Forum on Contemporary Issues in Society (FOCIS)(featuring Robert F Kennedy, Jr)
Begins at 6 p.m. in the Community Arts Auditorium - Wayne State University
The inaugural FOCIS topic is sustainability, a dynamic concept that encompasses the environment, the economy, social issues, agriculture and politics, and its implications are both local and international.
FOCIS, a privately funded initiative, will provide a series of public events that bring the university's resources to bear on topics that define who we are and what we hope to become - locally, nationally and globally. Each year's forum will address a specific issue that will bring nationally and internationally celebrated speakers to Wayne State's campus. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an advocate for the environment and will share his perspective on issues of sustainability, including jobs, global warming, health care, immigration and world leadership during his lecture, Our Environmental Destiny.
