New York City’s Water System: A Talk by Adam Bosch

Adam Bosch, Director of Public Affairs for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), will discuss how the DEP operates, maintains, and protects the largest municipal water supply in the United States. The talk will also include a special look at the $1 billion Delaware Aqueduct Bypass Tunnel project, the largest repair in the 176-year history of the City's water supply.

The water supply is considered a marvel of modern engineering. Its system of reservoirs and aqueducts supplies 1 billion gallons of water each day to 8.6 million people in New York City and another 1 million people in the counties of Westchester, Putnam, Orange and Ulster. The programs that protect its reservoirs in the Catskills are considered a worldwide model for protecting the quality of water at its source.
As director of public affairs, Adam is charged with broadly sharing information about the City's water supply with members of the public, local journalists, elected officials, and through education programs. Before joining DEP in 2012, Adam was a journalist in New York for more than a decade. His reporting earned five Associated Press awards for investigative reporting, breaking news coverage and public service.
Adam Bosch will be introduced by Dr. Allan Frei, Hunter College Professor of Geography, and Deputy Director of the Institute for Sustainable Cities at Hunter College.  Dr. Frei will discuss the ongoing climate modeling project he directs to understand the potential impact of climate change on New York City’s water system.
This free event is open to the Hunter College community and the general public.  To RSVP for the event please click this link to this Eventbrite page:

Crime + Punishment screening with director Stephen Maing

 

Location: Lang Auditorium, Hunter College North Bldg. Entrance at 69th Street between Park and Lexington

6:00PM: Light Refreshments

6:30PM: Screening

The Department of Film and Media Studies is delighted to welcome filmmaker Stephen Maing to Hunter College to screen his extraordinary new documentary Crime + Punishment. The film follows the NYPD12, a group of black and Latino whistleblower cops, as they break the silence and speak out against an illegal “quota system” that continues to dictate policy in their precincts. The film exposes the harmful policing practices that have plagued precincts and disproportionately affected poor communities of color in New York City for decades.

Stephen Maing is an Emmy-nominated Brooklyn-based filmmaker. His feature documentary High Tech, Low Life told the fascinating story of two of China's first dissident citizen-journalists fighting state-monitored censorship, and was broadcast nationally on PBS’ award-winning series P.O.V. He has directed films for the New York Times, Time Magazine, The Nation, The Intercept and Field of Vision. He is a fellow of the Sundance Institute's Documentary Film Program, a recipient of the International Documentary Association's Enterprise Investigative Journalism grant, and was a 2016 John Jay/Harry Frank Guggenheim Reporting Fellow.

A post-screening discussion with Stephen Maing will be moderated by Kelly Anderson, Chair of the Department of Film and Media Studies.

Light refreshments at 6pm, screening begins at 6:30pm
