Pratt’s mission has always been linked to social engage- ment, and, indeed, activism. When climate change and environmental pollution surfaced as major societal threats, Pratt students and faculty built them into the curriculum across all disci- plines. Today, sustainability is a priority focus in every school across Pratt. A resolution drafted by our students to divest Pratt from fossil fuel has influenced our board’s investment deci- sions as well as our building practices. Our incredible Pratt students are at once creating the tools of sustainability innovation and the momentum for social change. This is evident at the Pratt Center, where faculty and students work together with city officials, shaping public policy to make life better for New York- ers. Imagine this coupled with our MFA Writing program that addresses our constantly evolving social and politi- cal climate. Right now, these powerful initiatives are often unit de- pendent; the next few years must be a time of building bridges for even more impact.” - Frances Bonet Remarks for the Presidential Inauguration 11.01.2018 page 4 The Stars Report The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance. STARS® is intended to engage and recognize the full spectrum of higher education in- stitutions, from community colleges to research universities. It encompasses long-term sustainability goals for already high-achieving institutions, as well as entry points of recog- nition for institutions that are taking first steps toward sustainability. STARS is designed to: • Provide a framework for understanding sustainability in all sectors of higher education. • Enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions using a common set of measurements developed with broad participation from the international campus sustainability community. • Create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability. • Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and per- formance. • Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community. During the 2018/2019 academic year, various members of the Pratt Community worked to collect data and use the AASHE STARS framework to generate the first Pratt Sustainability Report. By using STARS, Pratt has joined hundreds of other higher education institutions around the world that have done the same. Key benefits of using STARS is that it provides a clear and transparent means of assessing Pratt’s Sustainability performance and will allow us to track progress moving forward. The credits we were not able to attain are opportunities for new initiatives that we hope to implement in the future. * AASHE is the leading association for the advancement of sustainability in higher education. AASHE serves a full range of higher education faculty, administrators, staff and students who are change agents and drivers of sustainability innovation. Established in 2005, AASHE is comprised of over 900 members across 48 U.S. states, 1 U.S. Territory, 9 Canadian provinces and 20 countries. Pratt Institute, through the Center for Sus- tainable Design Strategies, has been a member since its launch in 2005. page 5 Sustainability Organizations at Pratt The Center for Sustainable Design Strategies serves as a physical and virtual hub for Pratt’s commitment to educate environmentally responsible citizens. CSDS encourages the use of Pratt’s campus as a living laboratory linking the classroom to campus initiatives. The CSDS houses a materials research center that supports faculty, students and alumni in the integration of sustainability into their professional lives. During the 2016/17 academic year, The Provost’s office and the Center for Sustainable Design Strategies (CSDS) supported a new initiative called the Departmental Sustainability Coordinator DEPARTMENTAL (DSC). Each DSC’s role is to promote sustainability in their SUSTAINABILITY home department, focusing on enhancing the curriculum and COORDINATORS promoting the achievements of students and faculty. Each DSC works with their chair, curriculum committee, fellow faculty and students to identify opportunities and to provide resources related to sustainability. They work collaboratively to create a written mission/vision statement around sustainability for their home department, create benchmarks for success, and find ways to record and document this. In addition to the individual departmental work, all of the DSC representatives meet together monthly to coordinate best practices, as well as report curriculum developments (including, for example, the Academic portions of this report). Envirolutions is a student-run group in association with the Center for Sustainable Design Studies (CSDS) on the Pratt Brooklyn cam- pus. The group is continuing to accept students as members who are willing to learn about current global issues on sustainability and to share them with the rest of the Pratt community. contact twitter:@pratt_enviro page 6 Leaders in Environmental Advocacy at Pratt (LEAP) is an organi- zation of graduate students focused on furthering the cause of sustainable solutions to social issues in NYC and beyond. LEAP sponsors a variety of events and activities including: networking, discussion panels, volunteer opportunities, and hands-on work- shops. The Pratt Sustainability Coalition is a group of faculty, administra- tors, students and staff of Pratt Institute from a variety of disci- plines including art, design, architecture, planning, and science, who have been meeting monthly since October 2005. The coalition is dedicated to identifying, interpreting, inspiring, incorporating and instituting ecologically responsible practices into curricu- la, operations and programs at Pratt Institute. The group meets monthly in various locations on campus. Location and time are emailed through listserv. Tetsu Ohara, a faculty member of the SUSTAINABILITY Interior Design department, has been the coordinator since 2009. The Center of Sustainable Design Studies has been sponsoring the COALITION Coalition as well as the Annual Greenweek. The Pratt Sustainability Committee (PSC)’s purpose is to cultivate a culture of environmental responsibility among faculty, staff and students. The PSC makes recommendations to the President and to the Pratt community regarding policies to promote environmen- tal sustainability on campus. The Committee focuses on identifying policies and practices that promote the most efficient and respon- sible use of Institute resources and coordinating and supporting campus sustainability initiatives and efforts. The PSC is also re- sponsible to creating the annual Pratt Sustainability Report based on the AASHE STARS framework. page 7 Overview Academics The Academics portion of this report covers both This section also seeks to recognize how Pratt is Curriculum and Research.

  • The Wolfe Institute the Ethyle R
    The Wolfe Institute The Ethyle R. Wolfe Institute for the Humanities, presents Understanding the Gezi Park Protests During early Summer 2013, mass protests broke out in Istanbul’s Taksim neighborhood in reaction to Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s insistence on plans to (re)construct a former Ottoman barracks (as a shopping mall), within one of the city’s only parks. As peaceful protests were met with violent police actions, they grew to unprecedented numbers, and they spread throughout the country. This talk will place the protests into a social-political context, and will address the government’s continued clampdown on dissent. Kumru Toktamis teaches social sciences and cultural studies at Pratt Institute and in the sociology department at Brooklyn College. She received her Ph.D. from the New School for Social Research (2007), her dissertation was on “From Mobilization to Nationalism: Kurdish Movements and Turkish Nationhood.” Her book chapter “Democractization and Tribes in Libya” is coming out in 2014. Her current project is entitled “Gezi and Clashing Authoritarianism: Laicists, Islamists and Kurds.” Louis Fishman specializes in questions dealing with Palestinian and Israeli history in the late Ottoman period, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and modern Turkey. He has written about the recent Gezi Park protests for Today’s Zaman, a Turkish online daily, the Haaretz, and others. His blog, “Istanbul-New-York- Tel Aviv,” named after the three cities where he lives throughout the year, focuses on Israeli, Palestinian, and Turkish politics and social issues.

  • Winston Preparatory School a Singular Focus on How Your Child
    Winston Preparatory School A Singular Focus on How Your Child Learns Four years ago as I looked at the Winston website the first thing I saw was a testimonial by parents saying that they felt they ‘got their child back.’ And I sat and cried, because there was nothing I wanted more. As soon as I spoke with you, and as soon as Caroline and I met you, we knew we were at the right place. Within that first year, I felt we had our daughter back. I can never thank you enough. Winston has provided the safety, support, and skill for Caroline to flourish. She has struggled and she has overcome. She has grown into an independent, confident young adult with the skills needed to navigate and thrive. She understands herself and is at peace with herself. She is eager to learn, and eager to connect with others. She has opened herself to new experiences that have enriched her life. Winston has put her in the best possible position to find happiness. There will always be issues and setbacks, but she has been given the strength to endure and learn from her challenges. Caroline has learned the meaning of being a part of a wonderful community. In her choice of college, she has shown how much she values that experience. We have benefited from that sense of community as well and we have been strengthened by your unending friendship, guidance, and compassion. With love, Sherry & Mitch F., Parents Your child can learn.
