  Wanted: Urban Environmental Leaders, Educators & Change-Makers!

FEBRUARY 9, 2018

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

*Antioch University Seattle is seeking individuals and like-mission 
organizations to work *in advancing a more diverse workforce of 
environmental educators and leaders prepared to work in urban places.

*Students -* The Urban Environmental Education M.A.Ed. program at 
Antioch University Seattle (UEE) works in partnership with IslandWood to 
offer a robust environmental leadership program focusing on urban places 
and the diverse perspectives and assets that shape them.   The UEE 
program looks deeply at the social, economic, political and 
environmental forces that shape city environments and is seeking 
candidates to form a a diverse cohort of graduate students who will work 
hard to understand the dynamics of race and equity, diversity and 
inclusion in relation to environmental issues.  Stepping into the places 
where most 
of us live means unearthing the impact of social justice 
issues on environmental quality and is essential to understanding how 
and why cities work the way that they do.

/*Applications for the 2018-19 Seattle-based program are now open. */  
Check out their website for details and stories from their students:

graduate program and EE diversity workforce initiative across the 
nation.  Can you help and join this dynamic effort?

program/*starting Monday, February 12 until Monday, February 19,
