(HOUSTON, June 10, 2012) Robert D. Bullard, Dean of the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University (TSU), is slated to give a talk at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 in Dallas on June 13, 2013.  Dr. Bullard is widely known as the “father of environmental justice,” will give a morning and afternoon lecture to senior level managers at EPA. In April of this year, TSU signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with EPA that is designed to improve the quality of environmental science and TSU’s technical education; increase the relevance of Texas Southern’s research projects and other work relating to EPA’s environmental and public health missions; and increase the number of culturally diverse students electing to pursue graduate study and research careers in areas including environmental policy, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
