John and the field team collecting fish as part of a water quality research project in Bolivia A couple of years ago, Cathy Green and Dr. John Wear, the Center for the Environment’s director of operations and executive director, respectively, decided to go to a café in Durham, NC, after a long day of interviews. They were sipping on coffee when a familiar face approached them to say hello: Summit alumnus and then-Duke University student John Hare-Grogg .  John attended the National Environmental Summit in 2011, its first year, at a time when he still wasn’t sure where he saw his career going.

Dr. Bolin started out the session by talking about specific invasive species , what they are, and how they work. He then told us we were going to go pick some kudzu .
