However, an EventBrite ticket does not guarantee entry as this is a first-come-first-served free event. </strong></em></p> 1355<p><strong>Moderator: </strong><br><strong>Dr. Robin Nagle</strong> is a clinical professor of anthropology and environmental studies in New York Universityâs School of Liberal Studies. Her research considers the category of material culture known generically as waste, with a specific emphasis on the infrastructures and organizational demands that municipal garbage imposes on urban areas. She is also the anthropologist-in-residence at DSNY and the author of Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City. </p> 1356<p><strong>Panelists: </strong><br><strong>Martin (Marty) Bellew</strong> was the four-star director of the Bureau of Waste Disposal at DSNY during 9/11. He was responsible for overseeing the setup of transport operations, permitting of temporary marine transfer sites, and the processing operations at the Fresh Kills Landfill for 9/11 debris. In addition to managing all waste exports from New York City, Bellew was responsible for the Bureau of Recycling and the Bureau of Waste Disposal Engineering. After DSNY, he has served as a Deputy Commissioner of Public Works and Commissioner of Parks, Recreation & Conservation for the City of Yonkers and, later, as the Commissioner of Environmental Control for the town Islip and the President of the Islip Resource Recovery Agency. Bellew holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. For over thirty years, he has served on the Board of Directors for the New York Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), administering their scholarship program. </p> 1357<p><strong>Bernard (Buddy) Sullivan </strong>was the three-star chief of the Bureau of Operations during 9/11, overseeing city-wide equipment, facilities, fuel, and telecommunications for DSNY. In the aftermath of 9/11, he also managed all fuel deliveries to Ground Zero and 22% of the debris removal operations. Over the following thirteen years, Commissioner Sullivan served as three-star chief of Citywide Cleaning Operations, the four-star director of the Bureau of Cleaning and Collection, and finally First Deputy Commissioner. He retired in 2014 after 33 years of service. </p> 1358<p><strong>Anthony Palmieri </strong>was a Sanitation Worker during 9/11 who volunteered for the recovery effort, working on-site at Ground Zero for nine months. He had the honor of standing on the ramp during the official closing ceremony as the Last Column was removed. He has since shared his story as a docent for the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and has also served as a volunteer firefighter for Fire Company Engine 612 in Lodi, N.J.</p> 1359 1360 </div> 1361 1362 1363 1364 <p itemprop="location"> 1365 <p>Located in <a href="http://cooper.edu/about/galleries-auditoriums/the-great-hall">The Great Hall</a>, in the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues</p> 1366 1367 </p> 1368 1369 1370<div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" style="margin-top: 10px;"></div> 1371 1372 </section> 1373 1374 </div> 1375 1376 1377 </section> 1378 1379 <aside> 1380 1381 <div class="right"> 1382 1383<section id="block-cooper-block-10" class="settings-tray-editable" data-drupal-settingstray="editable"> 1384 1385 1386 <div class="text-with-summary"> 1387 <div class="boxlink"><a href="/giving/give-online" target="blank"><span class="top">Help Us Create More Inspirational Events.</span> <span class="bottom">Give to<br> 1388Cooper Union</span> </a></div> 1389 1390 </div> 1391 1392 </section> 1393 1394<section id="block-cooper-block-25" class="settings-tray-editable" data-drupal-settingstray="editable"> 1395 1396 1397 <div class="text-with-summary"> 1398 <div class="boxlink"><a href="/about/newsletters"><span class="top">To learn about new events and exhibitions</span> <span class="bottom">Join our<br> 1399mailing list</span> </a></div> 1400 1401 </div> 1402 1403 </section> 1404 1405 </div> 1406 1407 1408 </aside> 1409 1410 <div class="more-link"> 1411 <a href="/events-and-exhibitions"> 1412 More Events & Exhibitions 1413 </a> 1414 </div> 1415 1416 </article> 1417 1418 </section> 1419 1420</div> 1421</div> 1422 1423 </div> 1424 1425 1426 </section> 1427 1428 </div> 1429 1430 <div class="history"> 1431 1432<section id="block-cooper-block" class="settings-tray-editable" data-drupal-settingstray="editable"> 1433 1434 1435 <div class="text-with-summary"> 1436 <section id="history"> 1437<div class="content"> 1438<div class="slides"> 1439<ul> 1440<li> 1441<p>Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.</p> 1442</li> 1443<li> 1444<p>âMy feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,â Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853.
