From Scott.Carlin at liu.edu Wed Oct 4 12:31:58 2017 From: Scott.Carlin at liu.edu (Scott Carlin) Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2017 16:31:58 +0000 Subject: [Post-sustainability-committee] Reminder: Sustainable Post Committee will begin its Fall meetings on Wednesday October 4 Message-ID: The Campus Sustainable Post Committee will begin its Fall meetings on Wednesday October 4, 2017. 12:30 pm to 1:50 pm, Pell Hall 231. Note the new attachments! We would like to develop a new process for the year which will allow more students, faculty, administrators, and staff to take a leadership role in campus sustainability efforts. The main change we are making this year is to formalize the development of subcommittees that can take responsibility for a wide range of campus improvements. Right now, we envision the following committees for the fall semester: * Undergraduate Degree Program (Leaders: Pires & Boyer) * April Dinner/Fundraiser (Leaders: Boyer & Brown) * Grants (Leaders: Boyer & Carlin) * Student Engagement (Leaders: Brown and Ferrara) * Climate Action (Leaders: Carlin & Lutz) * Student ?Farm? (Leaders: DiVenere & Ferrara) We can easily accommodate six or more people on each committee. If there is another committee not listed above, let me know. * Prof. DiVenere has been working with students this summer to help construct our first student ?farm.? A very exciting new initiative. * The Center for Sustainability will begin its second year with a focus on expanding student opportunities for interdisciplinary research through new classes and a new undergraduate major. We welcome everyone?s involvement across the campus. So please share this notice with others. Our 2nd Sustainability Committee Meeting for the semester will be on Wednesday November 1, Common Hour, Pell Hall Room 231. ************************************************************************************* TRAVEL COURSE ?

From: Scott Carlin Date: Sunday, October 1, 2017 at 7:16 AM To: Post Faculty Listserve Subject: September (revised) Update - Center for Sustainability After a devastating hurricane season, we look forward to working with you and your students to expand campus sustainability efforts. The Center for Sustainability needs your active input and involvement to flourish at LIU Post. The Center?s primary purpose is to give students opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and research. Last spring, the LIU Post Center for Sustainability began a campus conversation to promote a new undergraduate degree in environmental sustainability. This interdisciplinary degree will strengthen students? skills in sustainability science and focus those skills on entrepreneurial projects. This fall, the Center will assist the Department of Earth and Environmental Science as the Department further develops this concept. We thank the many faculty members who submitted course proposals for the new degree program, but we have not yet defined the specifics of this curriculum. Please continue to talk with us about your specific interests in this still developing degree program. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t48epybq2syu2b1/2017%20-%202018%20Center%20for%20Sustainability%20Strategic%20Plan%20Ver09_30_2017.pdf?dl=0 The above Dropbox file provides an overview of the Center, its mission and goals. In addition, there are 2.5-pages of text on the proposed new degree program. We particularly welcome your comments and assistance on strengthening the included goals and objectives for the degree. There is also a two-page Executive Summary for a draft LIU Post Climate Action Plan. We hope that Faculty Council can work with the Center on this exciting Climate Action opportunity for LIU Post. Monthly campus meetings on sustainability will begin Oct 4 (Wednesday) and resume the following month (November 1) during Common Hour in Pell Hall 231. As noted on the Dropbox file, subcommittees will take responsibility for key topic area. We welcome faculty and student engagement and leadership on topics related to sustainability. We are happy to partner with you on events and projects. The best way to stay informed about our activities is by joining our listserve. Enter your email and click subscribe at https://lists-1.liu.edu/mailman/listinfo/post-sustainability-committee . The Brooklyn campus is also moving forward with their own sustainability initiatives. This semester we hope to talk with Brooklyn about creating new partnerships between the two campuses. And, please join us Tuesday our October 24 for our Student Farm ribbon cutting event, located by the Facilities Services/Public Safety Building. Lastly, in April, the campus hosted its 7th annual sustainability awards and dinner event. Congressman Steve Israel was the keynote speaker.
