It also reports information on whether those facilities are in compliance with the law.

Join us as we share how you can use ECHO to find pollution sources in your community and get engaged to make sure they are following the law and working to protect environmental and human health. This session is led by staff from the nonprofit organization Healthy Gulf: Matt Rota, senior policy director, and Christian Wagley, coastal organizer FL - AL. Communities in Florida and along the Gulf coast will be used to demonstrate the use of ECHO.

Join the Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series on October 24 as the Athens, Greece -based, Angophone band StarWound presents “Interiors.”
The show’s theme, “Interiors,” grew out of the isolation spawned during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme has also expanded thematically to include a range of connotations related to “interiors.”

Through their “rock cabaret” style, StarWound presents a philosophical and social reflection on the current human state. In the spirit of collaboration, the band bases their lyrical compositions off of modern-day poetic works.

StarWound has ranked amongst 150 bands at the “YourBand” contest of the National Greek Radio and TV Company.
The October 24th show will include poetic collaborations with UWF faculty and students, as well as work from previous collaborations on StarWound’s tour of U.S. universities.

Join us on October 24, 6:30 p.m. for a night of poetic reflections and musical compositions. Doors open at 6 p.m. and light refreshments will be available. The event is free and open to the public. However, tickets are required and can be secured at Evenbrite - https://tinyurl.com/4xrtka4n

The Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series is presented and sponsored by the UWF College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities and in partnership with the UWF Department of English.
