- November 5: We will hold the Centennial Symposium in Honor of Philip C. Singer, with a special dedication to Michael D. Aitken. Events will include an ESE Distinguished Alumni Award presentation and an L&L with the Distinguished Alum at the Carolina Brewery.
- November 6: Tailgate with us at the UNC vs Wake Forest football game. If you’d like to attend the football game, purchase your tickets now before they’re sold out! (Attending the game is optional.) Because it will be a crowded Homecoming weekend, you will want to arrange accommodations as early as possible.
Help ESE celebrate 100 years of providing environmental solutions to the greatest public health challenges!
