The Academic Advising Center's
Traveling Seminar program is sponsoring an all-expenses paid visit for BC
students to the Yale campus and museums on Saturday, April 1. A
bus will leave BC on the Saturday morning at 10 o'clock and will bring
everybody back to campus by no later than 8 o'clock that same evening (though I
suspect we may be back earlier). A packed lunch will be provided.
This trip should be of
especial interest to any students interested in paleontology, animals, nature,
art, history,or museums, as we will be visiting both the Yale Center for
British Art and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. The
Yale Center for British Art is not only the largest collection of British Art
outside the British Isles, with portraits, paintings and other works ranging
from Tudor times to the present, but it is also currently holding an
exhibition on eighteenth-century British royal women and their roles as
creators and collectors of botanic gardens and menageries of exotic animals
(after closing in New Haven, the show will travel to London's Kensington
Palace). The Yale Peabody Museum was originally founded in the
late nineteenth century by the pioneer 'dinosaur hunter', Professor Othniel
Marsh, and includes the Great Hall with its reconstructed Brontosaurus and a
huge mural of the Age of Reptiles, a temporary exhibit on Archaeopteryx, the 'missing
link' between dinosaurs and birds, and the Incan artifacts discovered by Hiram
Bingham, the discoverer of the 'lost city' of Machu Picchu. It has
greatly expanded recently and has state-of-the-art natural history
exhibits as well as its historic collections.
I hope you will be able to
take advantage of this opportunity to travel with me to Yale with its playful
blend of Harvard neo-Georgian and BC Gothic university buildings and
residential colleges. You can reserve a place by emailing Cam Cronin, cameron.cronin@bc.edu,
or by coming to the Academic Advising Center front desk, Stokes S-140, to sign
up.

ANNUAL
LECTURE IN HONOR OF RICHARD J. CLIFFORD, S.J.
Thursday, April 6, 2017,
5:30-7:00 p.m.
Presenter: Carol A. Newsom

Human induced climate change is the
most serious problem confronting the ecology of our planet. Was this an
inevitable consequence of the appearance of humans in the ecosystem? How
should we think about how we got to this terrifying state, and how can we think
hopefully about the future? Anthropologists who study the emergence of
homo sapiens present an account of our origins that engages in intriguing ways
with the Israelite reflections on human origins in Genesis 1-11. Here is
a conversation between religion and science that offers true insight into how
our unique nature is both a danger and a promise in this fragile world.
Sponsored
by the School of Theology and Ministry,
and generously supported by the Kitz Family in honor of Richard J. Clifford, S.J.

The Witnessing Change Video Competition is an educational
and documentary effort done by the Climate Cost Project. The competition asks
students to make 2-min documentaries through personal interviews with impacted
people in their communities. Student contextualize their interviewees'
experience, and the interview, around climate change., Our purpose is to have
the students' work inform the public about the climate impacts that are
happening in America now, and to help build a diversity of voices within the
country talking about their own personal experiences of climate change. We
think a common narrative about the costs climate change is already having on
Americans--one that transcends race, class, and other lines currently dividing
us--is necessary to create the social unity and political will needed to
address climate change. We do not believe that this has been done before, but
think that it is critical for building public understanding and empowering
individual communities to tell their own stories. This is the first year of the
national competition, and we are hoping to have as many submissions from
talented students as possible. There is no fee for entry and winners will
receive cash prizes of $US 500 and $US 250 dollars, respectively. We will also
publicize the videos both directly through the Climate Cost Project.
You can read more about the competition here: http://www.climatecostproject.org/video-competition,
and find out more about the Climate Cost Project on our webpage: www.climatecostproject.org. The Climate Cost Project
is a non-profit organization fiscally sponsored by the Open Space Institute
funded with support from the Alex C. Walker and Kettering Family Foundations.
For questions please contact info@climatecostproject.org.
The call for abstracts is now out for the Fifth Annual International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD), which will take place on 18 & 19 September, 2017, at Columbia University in New York City. Abstract submission and conference registration will take place on the conference website.
The conference is free for students, and an affordable $310
for faculty and professionals. We thought that you, your students, and/or your
colleagues might be interested in submitting an abstract or attending. The
overarching conference theme is The World in 2050: Looking Ahead for
Sustainable Development. Abstracts should be directly relevant to one of the 27
conference topics, which cover all 17 SDG areas and a number of crosscutting
issues, including data, the role of universities in achieving the SDGs, and the
arts as a tool to raise awareness of the SDGs.
A full list of topics and the call for abstracts are available online. We hope you
will join us!

Created for students, by
students, The GREEN Program has introduced a new model for education
abroad. Our accredited, short-term model focuses on bringing
transformative experiences to students around the world
and unlocking doors to governmental, public, and private facility access,
exclusive tours, and unique bucket-list experiences around the world.
We are working with universities around the world to redefine what a classroom
should mean - from lecture halls to studying the effects of climate
change on the top of our world's glaciers.
As commitment partners
to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, The GREEN Program
exposes students to the heart and guts of these sustainability
challenges and initiatives around the world.
Our programs are catered
to students who are curious about the world and seek opportunities to
adventure, break outside of their comfort zones, and stand out amongst their
peers as global citizens.
We don’t want students to choose between a job, internship,
or a study abroad experience. We want them to do it all.
We help students
maximize their winter, spring, and summer breaks in order to allow them to get
in a fulfilling educational abroad experience within just 8-10 days. All the
while, students are able to land that awesome internship they’ve had their eye
on, complete summer classes needed to graduate on time, or challenge their idea
towards global citizenship.
Currently on our 7th year, we currently operate over the spread of three continents. Our organization’s core team and company headquarters are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our full-time team of five works out of Pipeline Philly, a co-working space located in Center City, Philadelphia. As one of the founding members of the space, The GREEN Program is a part of this ever-growing community now home to more than 200 companies and organizations.
Beyond Philadelphia, we work alongside numerous indigenous educational institutions and organizations specific to our program locations. Fearless adventure leaders and passionate education gurus, our in-country guides are an integral part of what makes GREEN, GREEN. Of course, our community would not be what it is today without our extended GREEN Family – The GREEN Program Alumni. Having hosted participants from more than 300 universities around the world, we are elated to welcome more than 1800 student leaders and young professionals into our ever-growing community.
Our team and students all have one underlying mission in common: we have consciously chosen to pursue a future of possibilities, and are determined to be part of the solutions toward a better world.

Swan Valley
Connections is an integrated education and conservation non-profit in
Western Montana. We offer students the opportunity to study the complexities of
natural resource management through experiential learning. We specialize in
interdisciplinary, place-based education, as we believe that a deep
understanding of natural history and ecological processes combined
with empathy for human communities leads to innovative and thoughtful
stewardship.
Our programs, Landscape and Livelihood and Wildlife
in the West, are unique because we provide high-quality education (we
are accredited by the University of Montana) and we are actively engaged
in collaborative monitoring projects and community-based
conservation. This allows us to expose students to conservation
professionals as they are grappling with natural resource issues in real time.
We also invite alumni of our programs to come back as interns as part of our
mission to foster the next generation of conservation leaders.

These are exciting times to engage with prehistoric archaeology.
New finds shed light on the origin of our own species, and novel research is
providing fresh insights into the relationships with our closest relatives, the
Neanderthals. Innovative work is allowing us to gain better understanding of
the origins of agriculture and the shift to sedentary life.
Many of the IFR field schools directly engage with these topics. Our Lesotho-Sehonghong Rockshelter program explores the evolution of hunting & gathering technology over tens of thousands of years in one of Southern Africa most impressive and historically significant rock shelters. The South Africa- Spitzkloof field school investigates human/biota relationships in the past 60,000 years in the rugged and remote areas of the Richtersveld region of Namaqualand, a coastal desert in the northwest corner of the country. Work at the Montenegro-Vrbička Cave focuses on human evolution from the Late Paleolithic through the Mesolithic and to the Early Neolithic in the Balkans. Surprisingly, the site shows evidence of human occupation during the Upper Paleolithic, one of the coldest phases of the last Ice Age (the Last Glacial Maximum, around 22,000 years ago).
At the recent AIA annual conference, Michael Richards (Simon Fraser University) suggested that while Neanderthals were efficient top predators, they focused on terrestrial animals exclusively. The newly arrived Anatomically Modern Humans (AMH), on the other hand, added fish and other marine animals to their diet – a possible relative advantage that allowed AMH to push out Neanderthals from all available environmental niches. Is this the case?
Our Portugal-Vale Boi field school team addresses such questions as it studies the Upper Paleolithic and possible interaction between AMH and Neanderthals in the region. Preservation at Vale Boi is of remarkable quality with impressive faunal recovery and numerous lithic assemblages present. Vale Boi project members are examining adaptive strategies of both species. Our program at Spain-Cova Gran explores early human arrival to the Iberian Peninsula and AMH-Neanderthal interactions. The site covers more than 50,000 years of human occupation with upper layers dating to the early Neolithic period and the arrival of early farmers to the south Pyrenees.
Finally, IFR’s later prehistory offerings feature the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Our Turkey-Boncuklu field school is focused on the transition from nomadic to sedentary lifestyle in Anatolia. Boncuklu is the earliest village in central Anatolia and the predecessor of the famous Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük. It is an ideal location to study this critical transformation to permanent human settlements, including its advantages and pitfalls. Finally, research at our Bulgaria-Tel Yunatsite and Bulgaria-Ilindentsi field schools is focused on the entry of early farmers from Anatolia to Europe and debates about agriculture’s arrival by technology diffusion or population movement.
Will you please let interested students know about these opportunities? Per usual, I would like to remind you of our extensive scholarship offerings. Students are strongly encouraged to apply to any of our scholarships for which they may be eligible.
Sincerely,
Ran Boytner

Program description:
This program is focused on a hands-on, field
curriculum. We conduct a 1 - 2 hr. lecture or class discussion each
day and spend the rest of the day for 6 - 8 hours in the field conducting
research on sharks and rays. Most lectures are focused on elasmobranch
biology, physiology, ecology, identification, and conservation. Other
lectures will include biology, physiology, identification, and conservation of
sea turtles and manatees; fisheries, aquaculture, and ecotoxicology; the
concept of a species; aquarium controversy; and how to develop a research
project and communicate the results effectively. To make this program as
hands-on as possible, our students conduct all research activities under the
supervision of one or more staff members or instructors. This means
that our students set and retrieve gear, handle any captured animals,
collect data from any captured animals, tag elasmobranchs, and release all
captured animals. No previous research experience or animal handling
experience is necessary. This program is excellent for any student
interested in the natural sciences, any student wanting to gain research
experience, and any student interested in attending graduate school.
Program dates: Our summer program
runs at 1 week intervals (Sunday - Saturday) from May 7, 2017 - August 26,
2017. Students may attend as many weeks as they would like. Any
student who attends 4 weeks or more will be acknowledged in any scientific
paper published from the data collected that summer. There are tuition
breaks for students who attend 3 or more weeks as well as for groups of 6 or
more students attending together.
Deadline for early enrollment benefits: December
31, 2016
Deadline for program enrollment: March
30, 2017

Intern or Volunteer with Green-U.org to Save the Environment

Green-U.org (launching soon) will help students contribute to the environmental sustainability of college/university campuses and communities, while also increasing environmental awareness, literacy, and activism.
Our platform has the following components:
- Resources: We will provide extensive resources, how-to guides, and
marketing assets to help people plan and improve sustainability programs,
including waste reduction, composting, water use, food, landscaping,
energy use, procurement, healthy buildings, solar, and transportation.
While such resources exist today, they are difficult to find, scattered
across multiple websites, and often available only to those who have paid
for access.
- Community: Our online
community at each college/university will help all stakeholders—including
student organizations, individual students, faculty members, staff, and
administrators—coalesce and organize to envision, plan, promote, and
implement these programs. It will also connect people interested in the
same topics at different schools.
- Surveys: Surveys
will gather information on environmental practices at individual schools
nationwide.
- Petition: Our online
petition will allow members of each college/university to lend their
voices to advocate for their school’s adoption of
environmentally-sustainable policies.
- Beyond-Campus: We will also
advance the movement towards sustainability by providing news and ways to
get involved beyond the campus.
- Media, Partners, and Celebrities: We will engage with media, partner organizations, and
celebrities to promote this program.
Interns, Volunteers, and Campus Reps
We are recruiting interns and volunteers to work in our Manhattan office or remotely. Focus on research and editorial, marketing, or community management. We are also recruiting campus reps to grow this movement at campuses nationwide.

awareness and activism.

creative international team.

This is a great place to work. We have had interns and volunteers from all over the United States and more than fifty countries. The atmosphere is energetic, creative, and fun. We value brainstorming, initiative, sharing, and collaborating. Think of it is a laboratory, studio, seminar, or incubator. We are also casual. We are interested in your brains, creativity and heart, rather than your attire. Want to work in jeans, t-shirt and flip-flops? That’s fine with us.

We’re working to stop global warming: We took a big step forward last summer when President Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants, the nation’s largest contributors to global warming pollution. This historic step won’t be enough to fully solve the problem, but it’ll be an important start. But standing in the way, at every step, is one of the most powerful special interests in the world: the fossil fuel industry. That’s where we come in. We’re working to rally millions of American citizens, along with local elected officials and other powerful voices to back the President’s plan.
We’re making sure we don’t frack our future: Dirty and dangerous fracking could soon put some of America’s most spectacular places at risk. And we know that this especially destructive method of drilling for gas contaminates water and turns forests and rural landscapes into industrial zones – making nearby families sick and contributing significantly to global warming as well. Now, we’re working to offset the outsized influence of the oil and gas industry and keep our remarkable special places protected.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams: To protect our waterways from pollution and destruction we need to crack down on factory farm pollution, sewage and other threats. And we know it won’t be easy because of big opposition from the Farm Bureau, giant agribusiness and others. Now, we’re working to harness grassroots support for clean water and turn it into the political power we need to have a lasting direct impact on our waterways.
