ASI Brings New York Times Environmental Reporter To Speak On Campus

SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Award-winning New York Times reporter Andy Revkin, environment writer for the newspaper since 1995, spoke on campus as part of a two-day event sponsored by ASI Student Government.

He has won various awards for his reporting and photojournalism, including an Investigative Reporters & Editors Award and is a two-time winner of the Science Journalism Award of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
