SBT founder (Don King) to speak at the University of West Florida

On September 10, 2008 I received an email from Klaus J. Meyer-Arendt, Ph.D., Professor & Chair, Dept. of Environmental Studies at the University of West Florida (my alma mater). He asked if I would consider being a Graduation Commencement Speaker in 2009? After the initial shock wore off, I realized that there were several other presentation options, which better suited my aims and the college's needs. So I will be presenting to the public (downtown Pensacola), to the
university community (at UWF), and to the Emerald Coast campus (UWF @ Ft. Walton). There will also be meetings with President Bense, the Biology, Archaeology, and Environmental Studies departments, plus the International Studies Program.

For myself personally and my organization (Soluciones Biotecnologicas Tropicales) I consider this a great honor and recognition for our hard work, if even on a small scale. As I have always believed, "individually we can make small beneficial changes, which can have larger overall impacts."
