Drinking water is fundamental and New Orleans has been faced with a potential emergency as record low water on the Mississippi River allowed salt water to move up river and threaten drinking water supplies.  Join us on Thursday to discuss this event with Ricky Boyett of the Army Corps of Engineers and Austin Fieldbaum of the City of New Orleans.  We will discuss this and other threats to drinking water and how the city prepares now and for the future.

Dr. Aimee Thomas (Loyola) and Bug expert Zack Lemann (Curator of Animal Collections Audubon Institute) invite you to experience an early spring Blacklight event in the Loyola Peace Quad on Thursday, April 20th 7 - 9pm.  Black lights are highly attractive to many night-flying moths, beetles and other insect and insect relatives, so bug enthusiasts use them to actively gather insects at night.  Come learn why Aimee and Zack are so passionate about insects!
