Panel to discuss humanitarian opportunities in legacy of Agent Orange

Panel to discuss humanitarian opportunities in legacy of Agent Orange

35 years after the end of the Vietnam War, the legacy of Agent Orange continues to be a challenge for American veterans and Vietnamese citizens who are living on dioxin-contaminated soil.
The Institute for Public Engagement will host a panel discussion with leaders working to combat the negative legacy of Agent Orange in Vietnam at 11 a.m. Feb. 17 in Benson University Center room 410.

The presentation will discuss the humanitarian concern and what is being done to combat it at international level. This discussion is part of a three-day North Carolina tour to raise awareness, highlight solutions and connect people with ways to get involved in the campaign to make Agent Orange History.
