Schlosberg, professor of politics and international affairs at Northern Arizona University, gave the second of four lectures this semester for Conversations on Climate Change, a new lecture series sponsored by the politics and environmental studies departments and the Global Studies Initiative.

Despite bad weather and a last-minute relocation to Reid Ballroom, Tuesday's Cinco de Mayo celebration went off without a hitch.
“Cinco de Mayo was amazingly successful," said Club Latino President sophomore Diana Madriz.
Cinco de Mayo, is not, as many Americans mistakenly believe, a celebration of Mexico's independence from Spain. Rather, it honors Mexico's surprise victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla.
“Cinco de Mayo has become a cultural celebration for all Latin Americans living in the United States," said Madriz.
In fact, the holiday is more widely celebrated in the United States than it is in Mexico.

A year's worth of work has gone into this Faire, with a fairly new cast (only two returners) and big attractions like unicycle jousting.
