Hold The Dates Announcement for SLTF Year of Conservation:
Schedule of Events, Fall 2015
This year is the Year of Conservation and your Sustainability Literacy Task Force (SLTF) is planning more mind-expanding, fun events for you and your students to attend. So, mark your calendars and hold these dates!
Our first event is a nature/conservation walk with Greg Vaclavek from Native Plant Nursery, LLC on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 3:30-4:45 PM (rain date October 1, 2015). Join us as we stroll the beautiful WCC campus and learn about conservation with Greg. There is a limit of 25 participants and there will be a sign-up for this event.
We have two exciting books dealing with environmental conservation planned for the upcoming year. The book for the Fall 2015 term is Mayah's Lot, a comic book on environmental justice, that walks its talk by being published as a free, online book - it is available here !
If you can put down the comic book long enough to join us, the book club for Mayah’s Lot will take place on Wednesday, Oct 28, 2015, 3:30-4:30 PM, at WCC’s own Java Spot. This is for comic book aficionados and everyone else, as well. There is a limit of 25 participants and there will be a sign-up for this event.
We will repeat the wildly successful Empty Bowls Event on Wednesday, November 18, 2015 from 11:30 AM to 12:45 PM outside Garretts Restaurant, SC 1st fl. At this event, you can buy a beautiful handcrafted pottery bowl made by the Ceramics Department and get a delicious bowl of soup made by the Culinary Arts Department to fight hunger in our community! More details to follow on how to get your ticket!
And remember, SLTF events are conveniently scheduled so you can give students the extra credit they want and help with education about important issues in environment at the same time!
