Subject: Lunch, Other with Health & Urban Design & Transportation Expert

Hi All:

Anne Vernez Moudon will be on campus October 6. She is an expert
researcher in the area at the intersection of transportation and health
and urban design  and directs the Urban Form  lab at the University of
Washington.  There are two talks that day, a round-table at the TRC at
11:00 and a Burack Lecture at Waterman 413A at 4:00, titled:

*/Physical Activity and Travel: How Land Use and Transportation Can
Contribute to Better Health /*

There are spaces for lunch (12:30 Waterman) and time for a possible
short meeting in the early afternoon. Please let me know if interested
in attending one of these events or in joining us for lunch that day --
let me know soon as space is limited. Feel free to pass on to other
faculty you know would be interested, and please announce in your
classes, if appropriate.

Thanks, Richard
