Grand Challenges of Our Time: Presidential Distinguished Forum

Featuring Ethan Brown

All University of Maryland students, faculty and staff are invited to attend a unique series of virtual Presidential Distinguished Forums featuring renowned experts working at the forefront of today's most pressing issues. From the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change to voter access and the social unrest that has led to the Black Lives Matter movement, current national and world events present unprecedented challenges, but also opportunities to explore new and better paths forward.

President Pines will be joined by Ethan Brown M.P.M. ’97, founder, president and chief executive officer of Beyond Meat, who is changing America's eating habits while working to save the environment. Beyond Meat has mushroomed from a University of Maryland-backed startup to the nation's leading plant-based meat company. Brown is a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute and, along with Beyond Meat, has received the United Nations’ highest environmental accolade, Champion of the Earth.
