Teac Ching G and L Learn Ning Th He Hu Udson Valley Y th 6 Annual Meeting Teaching and Learning the Hudson Valley: Building Capacity for Place-Based Education November 13-14, 2009 Vassar College 124 Raymond Avenue Poughkeepsie, NY Co-SSponsors About the Environmental Consortium The Environmental Consortium of Hudson Valley Colleges & Universities was established in 2004 to advance our understanding of the cultural, social, political, economic and natural factors affecting the Hudson River Watershed. By promoting collaboration among its members, the Consortium works to provide ecosystem-based curricular and co-curricular programming aimed at improving the health of the regional ecosystem. The mission of the Environmental Consortium of Hudson Valley Colleges & Universities is to harness higher education’s intellectual and physical resources to advance regional, ecosystem- based environmental research, teaching, and learning through interdisciplinary, collaborative programs and information sharing. Spearheaded and hosted by Pace University, the Consortium’s headquarters is situated within the Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies in White Plains, New York. Among Pace Academy’s stated goals is to externally apply the university’s strengths to local and global environmental problems. As a testament to its commitment to interdisciplinary pedagogy, scholarship and service, the Academy provides essential administrative support that grounds the Consortium’s programs. www.environmentalconsortium.org Conference Planning Committee Lucy Lewis Johnson, Vassar College (Chair) Stuart Belli, Vassar College Paul Benzing, College of Saint Rose Erica Crespi, Vassar College Zofia Gagnon, Marist College Cornelia Harris, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies Donna Kowal, Pace University Michelle Land, Pace University Allison Michalski, Pace University Larry O'Connell, Pace University Lisa Paravisini, Vassar College Dan Peck, Vassar College Meg Ronsheim, Vassar College Emily Vail, Vassar College Zywia Wojnar, Pace Law School CONTENTS Agenda ............................................................................................................................................................... 1 Friday, November 13th ................................................................................................................................... 1 Saturday, November 14th .............................................................................................................................. 5 Keynote Speaker Biographies .......................................................................................................................... 6 Peter G.

  • What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years After Graduation? a Study of the Class of 2013
    What Are Connecticut College Alumni Doing Five Years after Graduation? A Study of the Class of 2013 Wesley M. Morris ’20 and John D. Nugent Office of Institutional Research and Planning July 2018 SUMMARY We found reliable information about the employment and graduate school activities of about 87% of the Class of 2013. Five years after graduating from Connecticut College, about 96% of those for whom we found information were employed, in graduate school, or recent graduates of a degree program. Our students follow a variety of post-undergraduate pathways into jobs, fellowships, internships, degree programs, and non-degree coursework, and nearly half of the Class of 2013 has obtained some form of additional education. OVERVIEW Colleges and universities are now routinely expected to collect and report “outcomes” data on their graduates, primarily on employment, salaries, and graduate and professional school attendance.1 Collecting accurate data on a large portion of a graduated class is tricky, and there is currently no consensus on the best time or method for collecting the data. The National Association of Colleges and Employers has developed a voluntary “first destination” survey that they suggest administering six months following graduation,2 although that timeframe seems primarily aimed at answering the question of how many college graduates quickly secure employment and thus the ability to begin paying off student loans. While important, this is not the only outcome we should be interested in, particularly as an institution offering a liberal arts education, the fruits of which may take years to fully appear. Thus, a longer-term view that looks at graduates’ activities one or more years after graduation has been the approach taken by Connecticut College in our one-year-out and five-year-out studies.

  • Report of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Financing for Development
    Report of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Development FINANCING FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2019 asdf United Nations New York, 2019 This report is a joint product of the members of the Inter-agency Task Force on Financing for Devel- opment (a full list of members can be found on page x). The Financing for Sustainable Development Office of then U ited Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs serves as the coordinator and substantive editor of the Financing for Sustainable Development report. The online annex of the Task Force (http://developmentfinance.un.org) comprehensively monitors progress in implementation of the Financing for Development outcomes, including the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and relevant means of implementation targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. It provides the complete evidence base for the Task Force’s annual report on progress in the seven action areas of the Addis Agenda (chapters III.A–III.G). The report is by necessity more concise and selective and should thus be read in conjunction with the online annex. The online annex also covers several key cross-cutting initiatives that build on the synergies of the Sustainable Development Goals: Delivering social protection and essential public services Ending hunger and malnutrition Closing the infrastructure gap Promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization Generating full and productive employment for all Protecting ecosystems Promoting peaceful and inclusive societies Gender equality Investing in children and youth Addressing the diverse needs and challenges faced by countries in special situations Global partnership Inquiries about the Task Force or its report and online annex can be sent to: Financing for Sustainable Development Office Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2 United Nations Plaza (DC2- 2170) New York, N.Y.

  • Terra Firma Terra Firma
    Summer 2008 Terra Firma Summer 2008 Department of Earth Science & Geography Vassar College Greetings from Earth Science & Geography at Vassar! In this issue of Terra Firma, our biennial newsletter, you will read about the people and events associated with our department during the last two years. As in the past, we continue to offer distinctive disciplinary perspectives on the world’s geo-physical structures, spatial systems, and human environments. We welcome you to visit us whenTerra you are next on campus! Firma Some of you may wonder about the department’s new name. Although we still teach geology, we have rechristened the program “Earth Science” to keep pace with evolving areas of inquiry in earth systems. As you can see in our A. Scott Warthin Museum of Geology and Natural History, the department cherishes our traditions while we embrace contemporary approaches to science. Of course, we also offer degrees in Geography, Geography-Anthropology, and Earth Science and Society. In fact, ours remains Vassar’s only department to span two divisions—the natural sciences and the social sciences. This cross-fertilization promotes a collaborative, inquiry-centered approach to teaching and learning about the many challenges facing the planet. More than fifty majors and correlate sequences now focus their efforts in our department, while some 500 students enroll in our courses annually. Our many alumnae/i, who have gone on to contribute so much in various walks of life, also fill us with pride. Recently, we particularly benefited from the creation of the Mary Laflin Rockwell Fund for field research in Earth Science, Geology, and Geography—thanks to the generosity of Joan Rockwell ’72 and Ellen Rockwell Galland '67.

    Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Village of Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation Village of Sleepy Hollow Westchester County, New York November 2015 Dolph Rotfeld Engineering, P.C. 200 White Plains Road Tarrytown, NY 10591 Village of Sleepy Hollow Local Development Corporation November 2015 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 1. GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION a. Scope The purpose of this analysis is to examine the impact on stormwater quantity and quality with the filling and stockpiling of material on the 27.8 ± acre parcel located at the end of Continental Street in the Village of Sleepy Hollow, New York. Development at the site will include disturbance of 6.0± total acres of the previously developed parcel. b. Existing Conditions The site is now vacant land. It was previously developed with a parking area and auxiliary buildings. The existing buildings have been demolished but the paved areas remain. There are currently piles of stockpiled material around the site that will be removed prior to the activity proposed and described in this report. The site where the material is to be stockpiled is currently classified as urban land and Riverhead loam on steep slope as outlined by the Westchester County Soils Survey. The site is located partially within the 100 year flood plain and flood way and is completely tributary to the Pocantico River via existing drainage culverts and overland flow. In the Existing Condition the project site is divided into two surface types (impervious pavements and wooded steep slopes). No activity is proposed in the flood way or on the steep slopes. The following soils can be found on the property based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Survey of Putnam and Westchester Counties, New York (See Figure 1).
