Coffee with the College

March 6, 2026
9 - 10 AM

Renfrow Hall, Katherine Howell Weingart ’61 Civic Innovation Pavilion

Overview

Today’s topic is “The Seven Deadly Sins of Industrial Agriculture” with guest speaker Jon Andelson, Professor Emeriti of Anthropology (rescheduled from Feb. 20). This talk will focus on agriculture’s sins against nature. (Its sins against people could fill another talk.)  There are actually more than seven sins, but it’s a start. What are they? What harm are they causing? Can they be countered, as the original seven deadly sins were said to be, by heavenly virtues?

Everyone is welcome including community members, students, faculty, and staff to foster conversations across campus and community. Light refreshments will be served. No RSVP required. Stay informed! Sign up for the Community Connections Newsletter.
