Al Gore to celebrate sustainability at Harvard

Former Vice President Al Gore will be coming to campus on Oct. 22 for the first-ever University-wide celebration of sustainability. The event, hosted by President Drew Faust, will mark the official launch of the University’s new greenhouse gas reduction effort and will also celebrate Harvard’s broader environmental initiatives, including the critical role the University plays in teaching and research in this area.

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to Tercentenary Theatre beginning at 3 p.m. for food and refreshments. Gore will deliver the Robert Coles Call of Service Lecture, which is sponsored each year by the Phillips Brooks House Association. His talk begins at 4 p.m.
