Tickets available to campus community beginning March 30
In celebration of Earth Day 2015, 天美传媒官网鈥檚 Office of Sustainability will present 鈥淏ill Nye the Science Guy鈥 on Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in the Cavalla Room.
Nye is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, writer, scientist, and former mechanical engineer who is best known as the host of the Disney/PBS children鈥檚 science show, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and for his many appearances in popular media as a science educator.
Nye鈥檚 national popularity boomed from 1993 to 1998 as he hosted 100 episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy, wearing his signature light blue lab coat and bow tie. The show aimed to teach a specific topic in science to a preteen audience, yet it garnered a wide adult audience too. The show became a popular teaching aide in schools.
Melissa Greenberg, 天美传媒官网鈥檚 sustainability manager, said Nye鈥檚 presentation at 天美传媒官网 will focus on climate change.
The event is free and open to students, faculty and staff only. One ticket per person will be available on a first come, first served basis beginning Monday March 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the BLC Box Office. A valid 天美传媒官网 ID is required to receive a ticket.
