Young adults gathering to develop their vision and plan for future of Earth

On Saturday Aug. 11 in Arlington, Virginia, a group of young adults is convening an inter-generational "Earth 2100 Conference: What's the Plan!?"  It will be a working conference at which people meet and work in small groups to develop (1) a vision of the Earth young people would like to inherit,  (2) changes young people would like to see made to bring us closer to their vision, and (3) a plan for a larger, more influential conference in 2013.  Summaries of major proposals for change from UN, World Bank, NGOs, etc. are being collected and summarized in advance of the conference. 

Details: August 11, 2012, 10 AM to 4:30 PM.  Location: Auditorium, Central Library, 1015 N Quincy St., Arlington VA 22201, USA.  Cost: Free, including lunch.  (A donation of $30 would be appreciated, but is not required.)  Space is limited, so please register now at http://earth2100conference.eventbrite.com/

Weekly Round Up 7.24.2012


"Test-Drive" the University Honors Program...by taking an Honors Seminar (a smaller course with 15-20 students)
ANTH 391 (section 00H1) - Domesticating the Planet. MW 2-3:15.  Taught by Prof. Sibel Kusimba.

The Maya, the Aztec, the Nubians -- early people interacted with their environment in remarkably sophisticated ways.  Using case studies from the ancient world, this honors introductory level course will examine the critical problems of human-environment interactions, such as climate change, resource intensification and depletion, resource conflict, disasters, and demographic impacts on the environment.  Archaeology is unique among the disciplines in offering a long-term perspective on human history that spans hundreds of thousands of years.  What can archaeology tell us about the history of human interaction with our environment?  What challenges and struggles did ancient societies face in adapting to environments and environmental change, and can we learn from this past history?
 
GEOL 399 (section 00H1) -  Volcanology T/Th 11-12:15.  Taught by Professor Jim Walker.
In this course students will learn where volcanoes occur on earth, about the magmas that feed volcanoes, about both explosive and non-explosive eruptions, the dangers of volcanoes, their possible effects on climate, eruption prediction, and volcanoes on other planets.  Class activities include 2-3 exams, 1-2 students reports, a final exam, and possibly a field trip.

Artifact Identification Day
Saturday April 14 from 11am until 2pm
The Anthropology Museum at Cole Hall, NIU

Have you ever walked a piece of land, looked down and found a projectile point or an arrow head?  Have your grandparents or parents given you a stone axe from their land and told you it was made by Native Americans?  Are you curious to know what these things are?  If so, come to The Anthropology Museum on Saturday April 14 from 11am until 2pm where Sara Pfannkuche, Interim Director of the museum and local archaeologist, will help you to identify your artifacts.  Learn how you can do your own research on these items.  Sara might not be able to identify every object, but she will be able to point you in the right direction…

In addition to helping you identify your artifacts, Sara will bring out archaeological “tools of the trade” so people can better understand what archaeologists do.   
This will be the last day for the exhibit Touch the Sky, a tribute to the breathtaking vistas and iconic creatures of the American prairie by world-renowned nature photographer Jim Brandenburg.  Coloring sheets related to the museum’s Touch the Sky exhibit will be available for kids of all ages. Come on out and see the exhibit before it leaves the museum!

Attached is the STEM Camp staff application. You may submit the application without reference letters as long as you have arranged for them to be sent to me either electronically, or though the mail.  If coming by email, they should come from an official email address, not gmail or hotmail.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY – Recycling Audit
Building Services and Recycling Services has a great volunteer opportunity coming up this Thursday.  The department will be conducting a trash and recycling audit of Neptune Hall on Thursday, March 8th from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  The purpose of this audit is to see how effective the current waste management system is and another audit will be conducted in six months after the new single stream system is implemented to record the progress of the program.  This is an opportunity for students to learn about the NIU recycling system, the changes that are currently being implemented, and also receive personal insight on the recycling habits of the campus.  

The audit will take place at Building Services West, formerly the John Deer Building, which is just west of the Convocation Center.   We will be separating the different types of recyclables and measuring the amount of recyclable materials that are mixed in with the trash.  One flow of materials will be coming in at 9:00 a.m. and another flow will be coming in at 2:00 p.m.  Gloves will be provided, and this may be considered a dirty job.   We are looking for as many volunteers as possible to sort and weigh the materials, and they may come and go at any time within the working hours. 

Please contact Tammie Pulak or Sarah Wawerski at Building Services, 815-753-1155, with any questions about this audit or Recycling Services.  Another audit of the same focus will be conducted at the Lowden building later this spring when we will need volunteers as well.
