Robert Kennedy Jr. told a nearly-full Plachta Auditorium Thursday night we are living in a “science-fiction nightmare.”

Fenton freshman Danielle Duval is interested in what Robert Kennedy Jr.’s point of view is on the environment and pollution.

Duval said she does not have a lot of knowledge about global warming and hopes that attending Kennedy’s speech will help her understand it better.

While Robert Kennedy, Jr. will speak in November on last year’s Speaker Series funding, university officials are uncertain whether they will receive funding for this year.
The series was able to put forth $35,000 from last year’s funding to bring Robert Kennedy Jr. to speak at Central Michigan University Nov. 19.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is coming to campus Nov. 19 as part of the Speaker Series. For students, it is a chance to listen to someone of great personal achievement.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is coming to speak at CMU Nov. 19 in Plachta Auditorium.

Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s nephew, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19 in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium about the environment in a speech titled, “Green gold rush; A vision for energy, independence, jobs and national wealth,” as part of the Speaker Series.
