The Dominica State College Lecture Series Committee has announced that the 2014 installment of its Annual Lecture Series will be held on Friday Oct 17th, at 7:00 pm at the DSC Auditorium.

The Guest Lecturer is Dr Byron Winston, a son of the soil currently based in Arkansas.

He will be focusing his discussion on Global Climate Change’s Impact on Small Developing States, and the Need for Exploring Renewable Energy. Dr Winston, an SMA graduate, received his BSc with honors from Midwestern State University in 2003, and went on to pursue his Masters and then a Doctorate from the University of Arkansas in 2008.

Currently, Dr. Winston is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville focusing on the impact of Climate Change on drinking water quality.

To date he has raised about $250,000 to support his research, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at numerous conferences across the U.S. He has received a number of different awards dating back to his high school days including the Aurelius Jolly, Academic Excellence in Agriculture, Most Outstanding Senior Man at Midwestern State University and the Sam Walton Doctoral Dissertation fellowship to name a few. He is passionately involved in programs which seek to empower the young black male.

The general public is invited to participate in this discussion, as we seek to elevate the level of discourse in Dominica, while showcasing the accomplishments of our fellow Dominicans both here and abroad. The lecture is open to all members of the general public and is free.
