Posted by | Start the discussion

Presented By: Roberta Richards (Reference Librarian and SPARC Co-Coordinator), Heidi Sickert (Business Administration Instructor and Former SPARC Coordinator), Peter Ritson (Environmental Center Coordinator and SPARC Co-Coordinator), Stephania Fregosi (Sustainability Analyst), and Taryn Oakley (Environmental Science Instructor and Community-Based Learning Coordinator).

Summary

Sustainability is a core element of PCC’s mission and a paramount value for many students. Join our college’s sustainability curriculum community (SPARC) and learn about options for integrating sustainability and climate justice into your courses. Our panelists will provide diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility (DEIJA)-focused examples and place-based resources for enhancing courses in various disciplines. Bring your insights to our conversation as we work to respond to students’ commitments and build a community working for solutions.

PCC offers this limited open forum as an extension of the respectful, well-reasoned discourse we expect in our classroom discussions. As such, we welcome all viewpoints, but monitor comments to be sure they stick to the topic and contribute to the conversation. We will remove them if they contain or link to abusive material, personal attacks, profanity, off-topic items, or spam. This is the same behavior we require in our hallways and classrooms. Our online spaces are no different.
