Each year, the School of Global Environmental Sustainability (SoGES) hosts six panels as part of the SoGES Managing the Planet panel series. Panels address diverse topics related to relevant sustainability issues and feature an interdisciplinary panel of Colorado State University experts conducting research related to the topic. Panels are organized to highlight current research and designed to engage the audience and dedicate the majority of time to questions and discussions. SoGES Managing the Planet panels are held at the Avogadro’s Number restaurant and bar, 605 S. Mason Street, are free of charge, and open to the public.

All panels are moderated by Gene Kelly, Professor of Pedology, Deputy Director of the CSU Agricultural Experiment Station, Associate Dean for Extension in the College of Agricultural Science, and former head of CSU’s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences.
