Western’s chapter
of Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholastic honor
society, invites the WIU community to “The
Problems, Challenges and Opportunities for Human
and Community Development in the Next Decade
— The Copenhagen Consensus 2004,”
from 1:30-3:30 p.m Tuesday, Oct. 19 in
Stipes Hall 121. The panel aims to create dialogue
on social, political and economic issues surrounding
the Copenhagen Consensus among Western’s
students and faculty.
According to Copenhagen
Consensus website (www.copenhagenconsensus.com),

a wider set of issues identified by the United
Nations, are: civil conflicts; climate change;
communicable diseases; education; financial
stability; governance; hunger and malnutrition;
migration; trade reform; and water and sanitation.
A reception will follow
