Medgar Evers College Mohsin Patwary 2019 Symposium Wednesday, July 24 John Jay College 524 W. 59th Street New York, NY Dear CRSP Students, Mentors, and Directors, Welcome to the fifth annual CUNY Research Scholars Program symposium! The CUNY Research Scholars Program funds research scholarships for associate degree students at all of CUNY’s community colleges and three comprehensive schools. More than 1000 students have participated in the Research Scholars Program over the past five years. Many have graduated and transferred to other CUNY schools and beyond, including Columbia University, Cornell, and MIT. The New York City Mayor’s office funds the program and we are especially grateful to Mayor Bill de Blasio for his generous support. So why engage in research? We have been asking that very question! This past year we published the results of a mixed-methods assessment of the CUNY Research Scholars Program in the journal CBE Life Sciences Education. Our results showed that CRSP students graduate in higher numbers than students in a closely matched comparison group. As a CRSP student you are more likely to stay in STEM disciplines and to graduate with a STEM degree. Also, you are more likely to transfer to a research-intensive school either within the CUNY system or outside the CUNY system. Our findings also reveal that CRSP students are more likely to feel they belong in college and have more self- confidence. None of this could happen without the dedication of our faculty mentors and the support given by each participating institution. Our faculty mentors have told us that the program enhanced the research culture at their schools. You can download the paper here: http://bit.ly/2LKNXGh The success of the program relies on our college-based directors (listed on page iii). The directors facilitate every aspect of the program. They recruit faculty and students and they organize high quality programming including workshops on abstract writing, public speaking and poster presenting. There has been a change in the leadership of CRSP this year. Avrom Caplan, who directed the program for the past five years with Ron Nerio, is leaving CUNY to take a position at Pace University. Please join me in wishing Avrom good luck in his new position! Finally, we love hearing from you. We will distribute surveys during the day. They are voluntary and anonymous, so tell us what you really think! Your completed surveys will help us continue to improve the program.

(November 17, 2010) - Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a settlement that commits ExxonMobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) (“ExxonMobil”) to perform a full clean up of its oil spill as well as any related environmental contamination in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The massive spill has been a source of contamination in the Greenpoint community for decades. The settlement was filed today in Federal Court in the Eastern District and requires ExxonMobil to pay for the costs of cleaning up the Greenpoint oil spill. The settlement requires ExxonMobil to conduct a comprehensive cleanup of its oil and related contamination at its Greenpoint facility and in the surrounding community, including oil floating on top of the water table, contaminated groundwater, soil as well as soil vapors. The settlement requires ExxonMobil to keep the cleanup moving forward expeditiously, including specific milestones such as: A plan for identifying the scope of the contamination involving oil, groundwater, soil and soil vapor problems must be created within 90 days of the agreement. A report on groundwater problems must be done within 120 days. A report on soil problems must be done within 180 days. A plan to involve the community must be submitted within 90 days. A report on the status and progress of the cleanup effort must be submitted quarterly and annually.

    Urban Environmental Stewardship Nurturing urban environmental stewardship – a case study of Greenpoint, Brooklyn New York Master Thesis of Johanna Jelinek Boman Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University. 1 Urban Environmental Stewardship Nurturing urban environmental stewardship – a case study of Greenpoint, New York Master Thesis of Johanna Jelinek Boman Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University Supervisors: Dr. Maria Tengö – Stockholm Resilience Centre Dr. Lindsay Campbell – US Forest Service, NYC Urban Field Station PhD Candidate Johan Enqvist – Stockholm Resilience Centre 2016/17, 120 ECTS 2 Abstract The benefits of engagement in civic ecology practices and stewardship of urban green space are increasingly recognized in supporting human health and well-being, providing ecosystem services in urban environments and enabling learning and interaction with local ecosystems. There is still a lack in knowledge on how stewardship develops in urban landscapes and how it may be nurtured and supported. Retrieving additional knowledge on this subject will help guide policy and create institutional arrangements that enhance stewardship in order to strengthen its potential as an innovative force and community asset in improving local urban environments. This exploratory study draws upon current research from the Stewardship Mapping Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) in New York and examines a case study of urban environmental stewardship in the neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn in New York City. It sets out to describe and analyze the structure and key roles of a network of stewardship groups and individuals, and further the role of a temporary fund that supports activities related to environmental improvements in Greenpoint.
