Central Michigan University welcomes actress and environmental activist Daryl Hannah to campus this week. It's one of the events the campus is offering in honor of Earth week.
Hannah has starred in movies like Kill Bill, Steel Magnolia's and Splash. Her presentation will be in a discussion style format.
Mark Fairbrother is vice president of CMU's Program Board.
He said there was a lot of brainstorming on who to bring to CMU for Earth week.
"We landed on Daryl Hannah who we thought was an odd choice because she has such a different perspective. She's not an environmentalist by trade. She is someone that yeah know has her job and then this is what she does with every other waking hour of her life. And we think that would provide a different perspective because in order to be someone who is environmentally minded you don't have to be an environmentalist you don't have to work in the sciences." Fairbrother said.
Fairbrother said, Hannah is passionate about the environment. She even lowered her price tag by about two thirds to come speak at CMU.
