2024 Waldorf Lecture on the Environment

Andy Fox, PLA, will present the 2024 Waldorf Lecture. Fox is a professor of landscape architecture and environmental planning, university faculty scholar and community engaged faculty fellow at North Carolina State University. He is also the director and co-founder of the Coastal Dynamics Design Lab, an interdisciplinary technical assistance initiative that addresses critical ecological and built environment challenges in climate-vulnerable communities.

The Waldorf Lecture on the Environment is made possible by Elizabeth Waldorf and the late David Waldorf, who both shared a passion for environmental conservation. David, a physicist and native of Montana, and Elizabeth, a zoologist and Mississippi native, received doctoral degrees from Ohio State University. After postdoctoral research at the University of Nottingham in England, they conducted research and taught at LSU, Lasell College, Northeastern University and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. The Waldorfs retired from MGCCC in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Continuing to uphold their passion, they chose to invest in environmental science scholarships at MSU to help students attain educational backgrounds to help them in fighting the critical environmental issues of today.
