The Bard Center for Environmental Policy and the Bard MBA in Sustainability are looking for motivated students who are ready to embark on an exciting educational journey. Our students come from a variety of academic disciplines, and they bring to Bard a passion about their future role as environmental and business leaders. Interdisciplinary course work, faculty-student mentorships, and professional hands-on experiences provide the platform students need to succeed academically and professionally. Both Bard CEP and Bard MBA offer competitive merit fellowships, project assistantships, and campus employment opportunities for qualified candidates.

The Bard MBA in Sustainability focuses on the business case for sustainability. We train students to see how firms can integrate economic, environmental, and social objectives, the triple bottom line, to create successful businesses that build a more sustainable world. Graduates of the Bard MBA Program will transform existing companies, start their own businesses, and pioneer new ways of operating that meet human needs, while protecting and restoring the earth’s natural systems. The Bard MBA is a low-residency program structured around “weekend intensives” with regular online instruction between these residencies. Five of these intensives are held each term: four in the heart of New York City and one in the Hudson Valley. Residencies take place over four days, beginning Friday morning, and ending Monday afternoon.

In August 2013, the third cohort of students will begin an intensive educational journey in the United States and around the world. CLTL merges trans-disciplinary university education with real-world action to train leaders who can deliver on-the-ground benefits for conservation and communities. By reaching far beyond the classroom walls, students will develop the knowledge and real-world skills to become effective conservation leaders making a difference for the environment and people’s lives.

CLTL is a partnership between Colorado State University’s Warner College of Natural Resources and our university, NGO, governmental, and community partners around the world.  For more information, please visit our website (http://leadershipthroughlearning.org/) or contact us at leadership@warnercnr.colostate.edu.

Carbon for Water Documentary Screening

Please Join us Thursday, 7:00 p.m. December 6, 2012 at the Anacostia Community Museum for a screening of the award winning documentary Carbon for Water.

 

 

Carbon for Water (USA, 2011, 22 min.)

Mike Bolinder, Anacostia Riverkeeper, leads a discussion on the film Carbon for Water. This award-winning documentary explores the hardships of the people of Kenya’s Western Province, where safe drinking water is scarce and the wood fuel used to boil water for purification is expensive. These two factors conspire to make waterborne illness a daily, and life-threatening reality, among the already poor population.  Women and girls are especially vulnerable; they often miss school or work when fetching wood, and some even fall victim to sexual violence in the process. 

 

Filmmakers Evan Abramson and Carmen Elsa Lopez introduce audiences to a unique solution to this age-old, and worsening, problem. An innovative company has financed the distribution and maintenance of 900,000 water filters in Western Province, funded entirely by carbon credits. These credits are awarded for actual reductions in use of wood fuel as well as the anticipated reduction in future fuel use. The filters help to slow deforestation, as household demand for wood drops. In this way—and in just five weeks—4.5 million people were given the means to purify their water, which in turn unlocks the potential to improve families’ income, education, and health.  

 

After the film we will discuss the film and explore links to our own watershed around the Anacostia River. 

 

To RSVP for this screening and discussion please call 202.633.4844.

New Spring 2013 Course: COM 589 Sustainability Communication

COM 589

SUSTAINABILITY COMMUNICATION

Navigating a Hot, Flat and Crowded World

Prof. Matthew C. Nisbet

Spring 2013

Wednesdays

11:45AM - 2:25PM

Open to All Majors with

2.5 GPA and Junior, Senior, or Graduate Standing

Problems related to sustainability -- including climate change, energy insecurity, income inequality, and extreme weather -- are the dominant social challenges of our time.  Effectively navigating these challenges will require a shift in how we participate in politics, think about the economy, define policy action, communicate with others, and invest in media and communities.  As a consequence, employers across sectors will be looking for graduates who understand sustainability challenges and who can communicate about them effectively and strategically.

In this seminar, students will be introduced to major areas of research, principles, and strategies for engaging the public, the media, and decision-makers on sustainability-related problems.  Readings, discussion, and assignments will be applied to debates such as those over climate change policy, organic and biotech food, natural gas fracking, biodiversity loss, ocean conservation, nuclear energy, nanotechnology, and efforts to protect communities from extreme weather events.  Across these topics and others, we will examine the communication strategies employed by the scientific community, government agencies, environmental groups, the conservative movement, industry organizations, and journalists. 

Readings will draw on scholarly studies and book chapters, reports, news articles, and popular books.  Students will also view documentaries and online presentations from experts and thought leaders.  Assignments include 4 two-page analysis papers, a midterm and final, and a 15-20 page research paper on a topic of the student’s choosing.  Students will also have the opportunity to turn their analysis papers into blog posts at BigThink.com.  Examples of past student posts are at the link below:

Long Live the Whales: Help Stop Seismic Air Gun Testing

Wednesday, Oct 24 and Thursday, Oct 25 from 2 to 4 pm

Tables outside of MGC

Seismic airgun testing is used by oil companies to find deep pockets of oil in the sea floor. The blasts from the airguns occur every 10 seconds, 24 hours a day, for weeks at a time. Seismic airgun testing is planned to occur in the Atlantic next year and must be stopped! It has the potential to hurt our fishing industry and injure over 100,000 marine animals, including the critically endangered right whale.  

      Oceana and Eco-Sense will be tabling outside of MGC this Wednesday and Thursday from 2-4 collecting photo petitions to stop seismic airgun testing.  Come out, take a picture, stop seismic airgun testing!
