A Video Interview With Pierce Brosnan
Together with his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, Pierce Brosnan has worked hand-in-hand with Dickinson's 2019 Rose-Walters Prize winner, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for over 20 years, and he's excited to be honored by a college as dedicated to sustainability as Dickinson.
"My impression of Dickinson's sustainability [efforts] is so impressive, so heartfelt, so encouraging," says Brosnan, who received an honorary Doctor of Environmental Advocacy degree, accepted the Rose-Walters prize on behalf of the NRDC and delivered the college's Commencement address this year. "I'm absolutely blown away by the commitment of the students and the faculty to educate and enlighten, to enhance a better world for us all."
