Nelson to speak on the presidential debates


The history majors’ meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 in the Humanities Auditorium. The meeting will feature UTM alumnus Eric Brockwell as the guest speaker.

Brockwell is currently Senior GIS Administrator with the Kazakhstan North Caspian Operating Company in Atyrau, Kazakhstan. He will present information about economic, geographic and political issues in the region as they relate to development and oil policies.

Brockwell will also talk about the “21st Century Silk Road,” the ambitious project begun in 1993 by the European Union to bolster ties between central Asian republics and to link them to a high-tech Europe-to-Australia communications network.

The meeting is free and open to the public, and all students are encouraged to attend. Brockwell will be available to speak to classes on Sept. 29-30.
