Ohio Northern University’s Phi Beta Delta honorary society for international scholars presents a lecture by Jesus Ramirez in the Dicke Forum on Monday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. The title of Ramirez’s lecture is “Air Pollution, Ozone and Climate Change.”

Ramirez is with the Cuban Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment, and he is the group leader of the Institute of Meteorology and the multidisciplinary group on ozone. Part of his responsibilities involves making daily forecasts for the entire country concerning environmental and climatological effects on major Cuban crops.

He has done significant work in Central and North America, including Panama, Venezuela, Mexico and Canada.

Phi Beta Delta is the honor society for international scholars. Founded in 1987, the nominees for membership in the Gamma Upsilon chapter of Phi Beta Delta include outstanding faculty, staff, students and alumni. The society hopes to integrate those who possess a deep commitment to international affairs, education and research.

One of the functions of the Gamma Upsilon chapter has been to create a regular forum in which international affairs can be discussed using University sources and by seeking prominent individuals with varied experience in international affairs recruited from beyond the University community.
