From Scott.Carlin at liu.edu Tue Apr 16 11:25:29 2019 From: Scott.Carlin at liu.edu (Scott Carlin) Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2019 15:25:29 +0000 Subject: [Post-sustainability-committee] Celebrate Earth Day Event at Brooklyn LIU - Campus Community Urban Sustainability Program (CUSP) Message-ID: <737D185D-6D4A-4B24-8796-169E978681E7@liu.edu> FROM BROOKLYN LIU Dear Colleagues, As many of you know, several Brooklyn faculty and I have an NEH Humanities Connections Grant for the Campus Community Urban Sustainability Program (CUSP). We are holding a series of Earth Day events on Tuesday, April 23 and invite you to join us and to help spread the word. We are very excited about the program, including our keynote speaker, Eric Sanderson, author of Manahatta: A Natural History of New York, and a terrific panel on climate change, featuring 13-year-old Alexandria Villasenor, who has been leading a climate strike at the UN on a weekly basis and has, like her inspiration, Greta Thunberg, become internationally known. As we did last year, we are holding an empty bowls celebration with pottery by LIU ceramicists--a bowl and a meal for sale for $10. Proceeds go to NYCGrow's Healthy Exchange Project. In the afternoon, from 1-3, we will screen This Changes Everything, the film based on Naomi Klein's book by the same name. Again, please help us spread the word, consider bringing your classes or giving students extra credit, and join us for any part or all of the day. See the attached Dropbox flyer for details.? https://www.dropbox.com/s/vd35d628jtqxc4y/BrooklynLIU_EarthDayposter_2019.jpg?dl=0 Deborah Mutnick Professor of English deborah.mutnick at liu.edu http://thelongestisland.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Students hand out Graduation Pledges to graduating seniors during the morning robing process, 7:30 am to 8:30 am in the Pratt Recreation Center. To participate or to learn more, email Prof. Scott Carlin, Scott.Carlin at liu.edu. Faculty: Please share this with your students! The Green and Gold Graduation Pledge: LIU Post graduates have been making graduation commitments to civic responsibility for over a decade! At commencement each May, students volunteer to take the ?Green and Gold Pledge? and vow to improve social and environmental issues affecting their homes, jobs and communities. By making this promise, Long Island University?s newest graduates join students from other regional higher learning institutions; including Columbia University, Hunter College, Fordham University and Manhattan College, as well as more than 130 universities nationwide through the Graduation Pledge Alliance - http://www.graduationpledge.org. On commencement day, students wear green and gold ribbons that signify their dedication. The Pledge reads: ?As a graduate of Long Island University, I pledge to be attentive to the social and environmental consequences of my actions and to improve these aspects in my home, work and community.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
