Pigg of Arizona State University, who is an Ohio University alumna. The day will end with a mixer and banquet at the Ohio University Inn, followed by a presentation by Dr. Gar Rothwell, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Environmental and
Plant Biology. A field trip to the Hocking Hills region is planned for June 3rd.</p>
