Read more link in bio. Each year, our COE Think Tank brings together a small group of Wes students and faculty from across the university, plus a node outside scholar, for a yearlong conversation on a topic of vital environmental importance. This year’s focus: how humans relate to and value the nonhuman part of the world. . . . . #coexistdaily #environmentalist #highered #landconservation #bearsearsnationalmonument #indigenousrights #hospicecare #religiousstudies #americanstudies #environmentalhealth #biologymajor #infectiousdisease #environmentalstudies #environmentalbiology #environmentallyconscious #wesleyanuniversity The College of the Environment is proud to announce a new partnership with the US branch of the United Nations 🇺🇳 Sustainable Development Solutions Network. “Our collaboration with the UNSDSN will create real-world opportunities for Wesleyan students to contribute to environmental justice issues in the US and abroad,” says COE Director Barry Chernoff. The COE will work alongside other universities including @brown_sustainability, @greenharvard, @carnegiemellon, and @mitpics to help the #sdsn tackle all things climate change, environmental justice and sustainability throughout the world 🌍.

We were out at our family cabin in #bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened 📚 about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him and put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it #birdbybird.” #annelamott #coexistdaily my first #bluebird 💙 (2009) Celebrating 🥳 #tbt with a throwback photo from a 2009 field trip to Guyana 🇬🇾. Who are these students and where are they now? We’d love to know!
