EAU CLAIRE — Dr. William Jeffrey, a senior director in the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, will present a seminar May 7 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

The seminar, titled “Homeland Security: The Role for Science and Technology,” will begin at 3 p.m. in Room 007 of Phillips Science Hall.

Jeffrey, a physicist by training, has worked extensively on science and technology issues during the formation of the new Department of Homeland Security.

The presentation will be part of UW-Eau Claire’s chemistry department spring seminar program.
