Check out this exciting event at NYU on Tuesday, February 6, 2018! *Building Power: Diversifying the Environmental Movement - People & Policy* - *Date:* February 6, 2018 - *Time: *8:30am–1:30pm - *Location:* New York University School of Law | 40 Washington Square South <https://maps.google.com/?q=40+Washington+Square+South&entry=gmail&source=g> – Vanderbilt Hall | New York, NY RSVP Here: <http://policyintegrity.org/news/event/2713> http://policyintegrity.org/news/event/2713 Green 2.0 <https://policyintegrity.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76508a9d2fbbc28f7…> invites you to an event, hosted by the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law <https://policyintegrity.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76508a9d2fbbc28f7…>, on the lack of diversity in leadership across the environmental movement. The mainstream environmental movement is under scrutiny for its homogeneity and increasingly called on to be more transparent about making large-scale commitments to change. Our discussion will bring together environmental leaders from philanthropy, academia, government, and the nonprofit sector to discuss the movement’s pipeline problem and the policy implications of a monolithic movement. Join us for a day of dynamic panel discussions and keynote speakers. Environmental leaders will explore the movement's real challenges with diversity and confront the myth that people of color lack interest in the environment. Policy experts will also examine regulatory and legislative challenges, and how greater diversity in strategy and message can help the movement educate and activate our broad base of support for a new day of wins. WELCOME REMARKS - *Richard L. Revesz*, Lawrence King Professor of Law, Dean Emeritus, and Director of the Institute for Policy Integrity, New York University Law School OPENING REMARKS - *Dr. Lisa M.

[UrbanStudiesCircular] Fwd: Mentoring Program for Young Latinas - L.O.V.E.
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

My name is Sade-Amour Mirabal. I am the Program Coordinator for the Latinas On the Verge of Excellence - L.O.V.E. Mentoring Program. The L.O.V.E Mentoring Program aims to increase high school graduation rates and college enrollment among young Latinas with the support of positive role models. This is accomplished through partnerships with organizations, universities and public schools whose mission is to enhance the well-being of young girls and Hispanic communities in New York. Mentors (university female students) volunteer their time to meet with their mentees (students referred from partner high schools) for one hour and a half every week. The mentoring sessions concentrate on developing study skills, providing college information and self-empowerment activities. Currently, we are expanding our programs to serve more young Latinas in New York by increasing our pool of mentors. We are reaching out to your school to see if it would be possible for your department to share the information about our volunteer mentoring program with your students so that they can have the opportunity to volunteer as L.O.V.E. mentors. I invite you to take a look at our website: https://lovementoring.org/ The link to the application can be found here: https://lovementoring.org/mentor-application Thank you in advance for your help and attention. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Sade-Amour Mirabal Program Coordinator www.lovementoring.org<http://www.lovementoring.org>

[UrbanStudiesCircular] America Needs You Recruitment
by urbanstudiescircular＠lists.qc.cuny.edu 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Urban Studies Folks! Please consider applying to the America Needs You program for awesome professional development opportunities. The deadline is March 1, 2018. Do ask Urban Studies faculty for help with your application, which includes two letters of recommendation. For more information about the program and eligibility requirements, please see the email below as well as this link: https://www.americaneedsyou.org/fellow-application/? Dear Colleagues: As you may recall, each year, CUNY partners with America Needs You (ANY), formerly the New York Needs You Fellows Program. This important two-year career development and leadership program targets low-income, high achieving, first-generation college students who have the ambition, tenacity, and desire to fully realize their education and career goals. The program's activities include bi-weekly Saturday workshops that foster relationships with over 200 highly accomplished mentor coaches and community and business leaders; curricula that focus on life planning, development of critical skills, public speaking, personal finance, written communication, relationship management, and interviewing; opportunities to apply skills learned through leading projects such as career workshops for their peers; and a stipend of up to $2,000 for the two-year commitment. Every year, students are recruited to apply for this opportunity by designated CUNY liaisons on each campus. Please find attached the current liaison(s) for your college. Because of the efforts of the liaisons, this partnership has been quite successful since its inception. For example: * Over 650 CUNY students have been accepted into the program since AY 2010 * CUNY students comprised an average of 73% of the first 4 cohorts of 350 students, representing nearly every CUNY campus and competing against applicants from Columbia, Pace, NYU, and other local colleges and universities * America Needs You was so impressed by CUNY's response that they doubled the cohort size from 50 to 100 beginning in its second year, and restricted eligibility exclusively to CUNY students in its fifth year (AY 2014). Recruitment for the 2018 cohort has begun, with a strict deadline of March 1, 2018. Because the application process involves completing an online questionnaire and submitting 3-4 essays, 1-2 letters of recommendation, high school and college transcripts and a resume, many students will need assistance to not only begin, but also to complete it in time. Please urge your campus liaisons to get the word out about this important program and to encourage and support applicants before the deadline. Michael Yohai, budget and grants manager in the University Office of Academic Affairs' Continuing Education and Workforce Programs office is coordinating this effort, and can be reached at 646-664-8015 or Michael.Yohai(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Michael.Yohai@cuny.edu> if you or your liaisons have any questions. Please help us boost recruitment of applicants so we can continue to help your students maximize their college experience and realize their full potential. Thank you for your support. Best wishes, John John Mogulescu Senior University Dean for Academic Affairs The City University of New York
