Dr. Jay E. Hakes will present the 2011 T.W. Samuels Lecture, "The World We Inherit: Why Energy Matters," Monday, April 18 in Kirkland Fine Arts Center.

An energy and policy expert, he recently served as director of policy and research for the 2010-2011 BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Commission.

The Commission’s report was described by the Washington Post as the “most comprehensive narrative of what happened … a clear, readable, insightful tale.“

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more info, contact our office.
