Sam Tucker is a Colby grad. He has 25 years of experience in environmental policy, conservation, and philanthropy; he focuses on land and water issues in western North America. His first job out of college was raising butterflies in Costa Rica.

Sam will describe how the CRSC encourages climate resilience in the Colorado River Basin: balancing the needs of people and nature in a river system that is crucial to the American Southwest and increasingly challenged by water scarcity.

He will also speak to his career trajectory: how a liberal arts education can be useful in the sort of work he does. Kari Twaite of Bowdoin's CXD will be at the talk to describe related opportunities for Bowdoin students and to answer questions.

This talk is jointly sponsored by the Department of Economics, the Environmental Studies Program, and Bowdoin's Career Exploration and Development (CXD) office.
