Glaciers are our most visible evidence of climatic changes, and they often remind me of our collective vulnerability on this blue blue planet.” Jackson’s doctoral research at the University of Oregon centers on understanding how glaciers matter to people on the south coast of Iceland, and what it is that humanity stands to lose as the planet’s glaciers disappear. “It is critical that we understand how today’s rapidly changing glaciated environments impact surrounding communities, which requires extensive, long-term fieldwork in remote places. I am grateful that Fulbright has continually supported me in this work, from my first Fulbright grant in Turkey, where I taught at Ondokuz Mayis University and researched glaciers and people in the Kaçkar Mountains, to my current research in Iceland. Without Fulbright, I would not be able to do Photo by Eli Weiss this research.” (Photo by Eric Kruszewski) 16-22186 FFSB-report-2015_PRINTcover.indd 3 09/09/2016 7:45 AM (From left) U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan, National Science Foundation Arctic Science Section Head Eric Saltzman, Iceland Fulbright Commission Executive Director Belin- da Theriault, and Iceland‘s Ambassa- dor to the United States Geir Haarde at the signing of the Fulbright-Nation- al Science Foundation agreement on January 21, 2015, for a groundbreak- ing partnership to fund grants for U.S.

    S T A T E O F F L O R I D A CHARLIE CRIST ATTORNEY GENERAL Dear Friends and Colleagues: Welcome to the 20th National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black Community. Our co-sponsors, along with the many local host agencies and organizations in the Tampa area, have teamed up with my staff for what I think you will find to be both an educational and enjoyable week. We are encouraged that each year we join with new allies and partners in our fight against crime and violence in our communities. In 2005 the conference will mark a milestone, the celebration of its 20th consecutive year. As those of you who have joined us on this journey well know, it has taken hard work, though it has been a labor of love, in order for this conference to become a unique and respected national crime prevention annual event. Thank you for your continued commitment, support, and resources to these vital prevention efforts. As Florida’s Attorney General, I am both pleased and honored to sponsor this important initiative. Sincerely, Charlie Crist 20th National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black Community 1 Departjment of Law State of Georgia THURBERT E.

  • Celebrating Women's History
    2021 Celebrating Women’s History The election, civics education and your newspaper By Jodi Pushkin, President Florida Press Educational Services According to the Louis Frey Institute, research shows when students engage in simulated civic actions, they are prone to develop a positive political efficacy that contributes to lifelong engagement. The 2017 Florida Legislature amended Section 1007.25, Florida Statutes, to require students initially entering a Florida College System institution or state university in 2018-19 and thereafter to demonstrate competency in civic literacy. The amendment also requires the Chairs of the State Board of Education and Board of Governors’ to appoint a faculty committee to develop a new civics literacy course or revise an existing U.S. History or U.S. Government course to include the civic literacy content. The committee would also establish course competencies and identify outcomes that include, at minimum, the following: ▪ An understanding of the basic principles of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government. ▪ An understanding of the U.S. Constitution. ▪ Knowledge of the founding documents and how they have shaped the nature and functions of our institutions of self-governance. ▪ An understanding of landmark Supreme Court cases and their impact on law and society. The local newspaper is a great teaching tool to engage your students in civics education. Did you know that more than 60 percent of people with high exposure to newspapers in childhood are regular readers of newspapers as adults, according to a study conducted for the News Media Alliance, former Newspaper Association of America Foundation? That percentage is significant because statistically people who read the newspaper daily are more engaged citizens.
