Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Director Dru Buntin will speak on campus at 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 15, in Room 125 of Butler-Carlton Hall. Buntin will share his vision for improving the quality of life for Missourians through preserving and protecting the state’s natural resources. He will also discuss activities in which DNR can partner with Missouri S&T. The talk is sponsored by S&T’s Center for Research in Energy and Environment and the civil, architectural and environmental engineering department.
Governor Mike Parson appointed Buntin as DNR director in August 2021. Buntin had previously served as DNR deputy director twice, from 2009-2012 then again starting in May 2017. Since rejoining DNR, he has led several river-related efforts, including drought relief and flood recovery.
For those who would like to attend virtually, the talk will also be available via ZOOM.
