Pardee Center Reception Marks Start of the 2014-15 Academic Year

The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future hosted a reception at the Pardee House on September 9. Approximately 70 faculty, administrators, and graduate students from Boston University along with faculty from neighboring universities came to the reception to “network” with other members of the Pardee Center community and to learn about the Center’s activities.

The first, on October 8 is titled “The Future is Now: Urban Asia in the 21st Century,” and is co-sponsored by the Initiative on Cities, the Center for the Study of Asia, Global Programs’ India Initiative, and the Center for Global Health and Development. The second conference, “Sea Level Rise and the Future of Coastal Cities,”  is co-sponsored with the Initiative on Cities and will take place on November 14.
