Congratulations to Karen Temple Beamish, science department faculty member and sustainability coordinator, on being selected a 2014 Community Climate Change Fellow.
Chosen from a competitive pool of applicants, Karen will join a class of 26 outstanding educators committed to addressing climate change issues in their communities through innovative education and engagement strategies. Fellows will attend a five-day professional development workshop, participate in special webinars, and attend the 2014 North American Association for Environmental Education Conference in Ottawa, Canada next fall.
The fellowship program is a pilot initiative sponsored by The Expanding Capacity in Environmental Education Project (EECapacity), funded by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The fellowship will promote leadership, networking, and innovation, as well as creative strategies for reaching new and under-represented audiences.
