The three former Iowa legislators who were involved in the passage of the Iowa Groundwater Protection Act of 1987 will be on campus Tuesday to discuss their original vision for the center, as well as accomplishes and challenges.

The panel discussion will begin at 7 p.m. at the Richard and Joan Stark Lecture Hall, 1148 Gerdin Business Building, and will be free to attend.

The members of the panel, David Osterberg, Ralph Rosenberg and Paul Johnson, will also talk about the role the act, which created the Leopold Center at Iowa State, can play in Iowa agriculture in the 21st century, according to the Iowa State events website.    

Leopold Center Director Mark Rassmussen will moderate the panel discussion.
