Dear Friends,

From Ethnomathematics to a Conservation Challenge, paid internships to trainings, video contests to conferences, February is bustling with capacity building and community. There's something for everyone as we move through midterms. 

Posting to EcoWiki appears to be at an all-time high. Please help us share the knowledge wealth with your friends and colleagues. Spring will bring events like Earth Week, the International Sustainability Workshop, and more. Let's make sure PSU students have access and up-to-date information!

Enjoy,

Heather Spalding

Sustainability Leadership and Outreach Coordinator at PSU
