5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Join the Our Health& series as we take a deeper dive on your questions around the future of travel — from the economic policies and constraints at a community level to the current and trending environmental health impacts to how COVID may have changed travel behaviors for the better.
Join OSU faculty and staff from the College of Heath’s Environmental and Occupational Health program, OSU Cascades’ Sustainable Tourism Lab and the OSUAA’s Group Travel Program for a robust discussion around the complexities of sustainable travel and how it will take a lift from us all to preserve a fundamentally positive human experience for generations to come.
