SUMMARY:Pitch for The Planet: A UNCG Green Fund Venture
DESCRIPTION:It’s Shark Tank meets Ted Talk! \nStudent participants will have 5 minutes and 10 slides to pitch the UNCG Green Fund Committee and convince them to implement your sustainability initiative on campus. This is your chance to be the change you want to see! Two winners will be selected: one by the committee and one via an audience favorite. \nThe Green Fund operates as an on-campus grant program that invests in environmental projects to further UNCG’s sustainability mission. Participants should review the UNCG Green Fund webpage to familiarize themselves with the types of projects the committee has funded in the past. \nTo give some perspective of the size of the projects we can support\, participants should also keep in mind that the Green Fund operates with a $56\,000 annual budget and typically awards 10-12 projects a year for an average of $5\,000. However\, you do not have to include a budget in your pitch. We just want to hear your idea and be inspired by the potential impact it can have. \nWe highly encourage participants to schedule at least one consultation with the UNCG Communications Lab. Contact Gia Coturri Sorenson for support in the Lab: gmcoturr@uncg.edu  \nQuestions about the event? Contact Sean MacInnes: s_macinn@uncg.edu \nGuidelines: Presenters will have 5 minutes and are allowed 10 slides. Projects may be for campus infrastructure that conserves resources\, sustainability education\, research\, or professional development that benefits students. \nWinners will work with the Office of Sustainability and the Green Fund committee to see their projects implemented in the spring. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Asheville Artists Benefit Exhibit @GPS
DESCRIPTION:Greensboro Project Space is pleased to announce a fundraising event in support of Western North Carolina (WNC) artists devastated by Hurricane Helene\, organized by Asheville-based artist Margee Halsch. \nThis exhibition will show works in a variety of mediums from nine WNC artists displaced by Hurricane Helene. The hurricane and flood waters from the French Broad River have decimated the historic River Arts District in Asheville\, leaving hundreds of artists without inventory\, studios\, and gallery spaces. \n“To be able to support our fellow Asheville art community in this way is reflective of what’s at the heart of GPS – supporting artists through community and humanity. It is with open doors and open arms that we welcome these Asheville-based artists. Our hope is to play just a small part in a much larger revitalization process by offering a platform for them to share their artistry during this time of recovery\,” says Greensboro Project Space Director\, Caitlyn Schrader. \nThis exhibition offers an additional opportunity for the Greensboro community to support the recovery of this group of artists\, both financially and emotionally. All artworks will be available for sale\, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the artists. Proceeds from a raffle at the closing reception will further support relief efforts in the Asheville River Arts District.

SUMMARY:Rachel Carson\, Politics\, & The Environment
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Carson ignited the modern environmental movement. She was a trained scientist and author who changed history with her book\, Silent Spring. And she was proudly politically active: Carson campaigned for John F. Kennedy and worked closely with his administration on speeches\, policy\, and legislation. \nCarson was a pioneering advocate concerned about global climate change\, toxic chemicals\, and environmental justice — critical issues for the election of 2024. The Rachel Carson Council continues to work on these issues today. \nIn addition to recounting Carson’s story\, Dr. Musil will urge students to engage in the 2024 election — one that will determine the fate of the environment and American democracy. \nBob Musil is President & CEO of the Rachel Carson Council. From 1992-2006\, he was the Executive Director & CEO of Physicians for Social Responsibility. He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins\, Northwestern\, and Yale universities. In addition to his role as a national advocate and leader\, Dr. Musil has published three books\, including Rachel Carson and Her Sisters(Rutgers 2014) and has worked in print and radio journalism. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:UNCG Campus Nature Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the 2024 Fall Campus Nature Challenge at UNC Greensboro is to engage our campus community in a citizen science project to increase biodiversity awareness by photographing\, recording audio\, and cataloging the plants\, animals (including insects)\, and fungi during a week-long “bioblitz” on campus. The event will take place from September 30 – October 6. \n\n\n\nUNCG students and employees are asked to use the iNaturalist app to identify as many species across campus as they can. Student participants will be awarded prizes for the most observations identified and best photos. \n\n\n\nThis project builds off of the work of the UNCG Biology Department\, which runs and monitors two wetlands on campus on iNaturalist. During the last two nature challenges over 100 participants combined to make 2\,300 observations and identified 600 species. \nDownload the iNaturalist App and join the UNC Greensboro Bioblitz 2024 project. \nContact Dr. Kevin Wilcox with questions: k_wilcox@uncg.edu
