In cooperation with the Biology Department, Cultural Affairs is offering several lectures this spring semester, February through April. A series of five lectures on the topic Cannabis ~ Changing A Weed to A Resource, will cover the many different aspects of Cannabis and will be a great introduction to a new course curriculum developed by Monty Vacura, biology/botany professor here at SUNY Orange.
