University Prepares for Thomas Friedman


In preparation for the much-anticipated lecture and discussion with Thomas L. Friedman (New York Times columnist and author of Hot, Flat, and Crowded), the GW School of Business hosted a panel discussion for first year undergraduate business students.

The panel was moderated by Mark Starik—the Director of the GW Institute for Sustainability Research, Education, & Policy—and featured three professionals that work in the area of sustainability. The book Hot, Flat and Crowded (which was the freshmen recommended summer reading) was discussed in-depth.

Starik suggested other books focused on sustainability for students who want to further their knowledge, including the books Plan B 4.0, Green to Gold and Fostering Sustainable Behavior.


Tickets for the lecture and discussion with Tom Friedman are sold out. The event will take place in Lisner Auditorium on Thursday night at 7:30. WRGW will be in attendance and give our online readers and broadcast listeners the highlights of the night.
