Presented Talks
Here’s our final list!
Where’s the water
I won’t be talking about the incredibly addicting game. But I will highlight water policy west of the 100th meridian which is exceptionally dryer than on the east. I’ll also outline what’s being done here in Las Vegas to ensure out wells and our giant man-made lake don’t run dry (doing this will also help me study for my upcoming water law exam).

The Dangers of FOOD
by Valerie Soto
I want to do a pp presentation on the dangers of our foods and what I have come to learn from the professionals. I have sick children and as soon as I changed their diets my son began to speak. People are not stupid they are just misinformed and they are blinded by corporate greed.
