Virtual STEM Cafe April 15
Hope you are staying safe and healthy. Our next virtual STEM Café is scheduled for April 15. You can find the recorded STEM Café from April 1 on our NIU STEAM website. https://www.niu.edu/niusteam/programs/stem-cafes.shtml
Our café for April 15, 2020, Wednesday, is Stressed and Depressed? You’re Not Alone, 6:00 PM online via Adobe Connect(We are moving the start time earlier by a half hour since peak internet time is now 7:30 rather than 9:00 PM. The move will help prevent people from being dropped from the internet).
How can we manage the stress and isolation of sheltering in place?
How do we cope with the challenges of working remotely and the anxiety of job uncertainty?
How do we manage household relationships when resources, including technology and space, are limited?
If you’re anxious about finances, working from home, managing the kids or coping with isolation, you’re not alone.
At the next online NIU STEM Café, learn coping strategies and find avenues to get help for yourself or family members with mental health experts from Northern Illinois University.
Hear from:
Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Counseling and Higher Education;
Sarah Klaper, JD, University Ombudsperson;
Brian Smith, MSW, LCSW, Director of the Employee Assistance Program
.
To access the online meeting, go to https://niuonline. adobeconnect.com/niu between 5:30 and 6 p.m. on April 15. The presentation will begin promptly at 6 p.m. and will last approximately 2 hours. On a computer, the Chrome browser works best, and you will be asked to download the Adobe Connect app. For tablets and mobile phones, go to your app store and download the Adobe Connect mobile app before attending.

About the MSc in Carbon Finance
The challenge of responding and adapting to climate change will drive trillions of dollars of new investment over the coming decades, with major changes required across the global economy, in energy production and consumption, industry, buildings, transport, infrastructure, forests and agriculture. Following the Paris Agreement both developed and developing countries have increased their commitments to addressing climate change, which will require greatly enhanced capacity in all aspects of carbon finance. In addition, the skills and knowledge developed on the programme are highly applicable to the wider fields of environmental finance and environmental accounting.
Graduates will be equipped for a career in low carbon investment, climate/development finance, consulting, research, or related policy and regulatory roles. The programme includes specialist courses in energy finance, climate & environmental policy, carbon & environmental accounting, low carbon & green investment, and carbon markets, as well as a carbon/environmental consulting project and individual dissertation. Courses are taught by leading researchers and practitioners with extensive experience in carbon/climate finance. The MSc is highly suited to professionals seeking to develop their careers, and also to recent graduates seeking to specialise in this important growth area.
