Dynamic Symposium Showcases Faculty Research from Across Baruch

Original research projects presented in the fun, informative PechaKucha format were the main attraction at Friday’s Second Annual Cross-College Faculty Research Symposium.

Shown: Valerie Watnick, Professor and Chair of the Department of Law, presenting “How Big Agriculture and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) Are Primarily an Environmental Justice Issue.”
