Wednesday, March 5th, 7pm EST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a lot of changes happening since Jan 20th. It might be good to share:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The TERC team can share briefly about how TERC is being affected (and how it is NOT affecting the Climate and Equity Institute).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can’t make those times, but would like us to find another time, please contact Brian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am eagerly anticipating the sugaring season, which keeps getting pushed closer and closer to break when I won’t have any student power to help with the heavy lifting! We’ve tapped most of our trees at this point, and crossing our fingers for some good flow starting this weekend! The Center in which I work, the Global & Environmental Studies Center, is partnering with our Center for Teaching and Learning, to launch our school’s first-time participation in the Worldwide Climate and Justice Education<\/a> week. I’ll be presenting to our faculty next week about the ask: we’re hoping for 100% participation across the curriculum for people to engage from 5-minutes to a full lesson with students leveraging the link between their discipline and the climate crisis (ideally focusing on solutions). The goal is to help empower our students with the understanding that there are many ways they can take action, to try to address growing climate anxiety. While the goal is 100% participation, the reality is that it will likely be more like 30%…which is still a win in my book. We’re also gearing up for Earth month; during April, the student group I co-lead, our Environmental Proctors, will host a variety of events ranging from a fundraiser for a local watershed association to a sustainability-themed games night, to vegan cooking classes, to a documentary screening. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Amanda posted this earlier in the Google Group, but it’s so interesting an opportunity we add her message here, too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last fall I attended this amazing training called the Art of Hosting. I believe some of the processes and procedures would benefit future Climate and Equity Institutes. One of the rules of the Art of Hosting is to NEVER host alone. I would love to recruit some folks to implement some Art of Hosting experiences at future institutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several opportunities to learn the Art of Hosting, but the experience I had at this particular location, the Queen’s University Biological Station in Elgin, Ontario (not far from Montreal) was similar to what Schoodic Institute, Acadia provided for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This fills fast. I am signing up this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
