Location: Falvey Library Speaker鈥檚 Corner

Students, faculty, and staff will gather on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, from 4-5 PM in the Speaker鈥檚 Corner in Falvey Library to hear featured speaker Steve T. Goldsmith, PhD and 2023-24 Faculty Fellow in Climate, Justice & Sustainability deliver a talk titled 鈥淏roadening Diversity in the Environmental Sciences Through a High School Environmental Justice Focused Research Experience.鈥�

Urban communities often suffer the greatest damage from poor water, air, and soil quality. Geoscience programs, including the environmental sciences, are the foundation for jobs tasked with remedying these problems; however, the racially minoritized residents who disproportionately experience environmental burdens are vastly underrepresented in these fields. 

This partnership with Walter B. Saul High School in Philadelphia uses and immersive, locally based, culturally responsive research experience in urban environmental geochemistry, through an environmental justice lens, to broaden a pathway to the geosciences for underrepresented minoritized students.  Students are engaged though both school-based active learning modules and a solutions-based summer research experience carried out alongside 柑橘直播 undergraduate students.  This talk will highlight successes, challenges, and lessons learned.   

Vendors, student groups, study abroad opportunities, activities, student research presentations, free giveaways!
