Author and environmentalist Dr. David Suzuki was on
Memorial’s St. John’s campus Sept. 30 to help kick-off
the Students for Sustainability National Campus Tour which is
delivering green messages to Canadians at 22 campuses until the end
of October. As part of his visit, Dr. Suzuki delivered a keynote
address to a crowded audience in the Arts and Culture Centre, which
was simulcast live on the Internet, thanks to Memorial’s
Distance Education and Learning Technologies unit. Thousands of
students from St. John’s to Stephenville to Rigolet were able
to watch the presentation in schools, as well as Sir Wilfred
Grenfell College in Corner Brook and campuses of the College of the
North Atlantic. Just prior to his presentation, Dr. Suzuki also met
with university media, including Studio 1024, Memorial’s
official weekly podcast. You can see Dr. Suzuki’s
presentation online at www.distance.mun.ca/media/files/suzuki/.
