November 12 & 19 (Wednesdays) - Harvard Law School Native Foods Day
       Location:   Harkness Commons, Harvard Law School
       Time:        11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

November 10 (Monday) - Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the
Indian College
Location:   Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology - Hall of the North
American Indian
       Time:        5:00 –7:00 p.m.
Description:    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents a new
exhibition on the archaeology of Harvard Yard entitled Digging
Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at
Colonial Harvard. Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps,
and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at Colonial Harvard, and the
role of the Indian College in Harvard’s early years.

Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape
shaped by social and religious tensions—tensions that affected everything from
Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of
student life.  As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of
Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian
College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who
knew small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?
November 13 (Thursday) - From Stereotyping to Invisibility: Consequences of
American Indian Social Representations on American Indian and European American
Students
       Location:   Harvard University, Boylston Hall - Fong Auditorium
       Time:        Reception: 6:00 – 6:30 p.m.; Presentation: 6:30 p.m.

Description:   Stephanie A. Fryberg, Assistant Professor in the department of
Psychology and an Affiliate Faculty member in American Indian Studies at the
University of Arizona, will examine the impact of both stereotypes and
invisibility on psychological wellbeing of American Indian students.

'Young People For' Leadership Fellowship
Posted by: "Alyssa Macy" alyssamacy@...
Mon Nov 10, 2008 11:40 am (PST)
[image: Young People For the American Way]

*The Young People For (YP4)
fellowship<http://www.youngpeoplefor.org/programs/fellowship>
* is a yearlong program for students who will be enrolled in a two- or
four-year college or university during the upcoming calendar year.

YP4 provides young leaders and activists with the leadership development,
networks, skills and support they need to effect positive change on their
campuses, in their communities and around the country.

*We are now accepting applications for the 2009 fellowship class. The
deadline is Tuesday, October 28th, but extensions can be given on an
individual basis.*

Young People for is committed to expanding the network of Tribal College
students into our broader fellowship network, and are working to build
partnerships with administrators, professors and community leaders to enable
our programming to better serve Native communities.

Young People For currently has fellows from Dine College, Oglala Lakota
College, Fon-du-Lac Tribal and Community College and Blackfeet Nation
Community College. Right now fellows from these campuses are implementing
community-initiatives on voter registration, youth and cultural identity
development, and language preservation among many other issues important for
their communities. Several also have paid internship positions with Black
Mesa Water Coalition <http://www.blackmesawatercoalition.org/>, working on
environmental justice issues and Native Vote <http://nativevote.org/>,
registering student voters at Oglala Lakota College.

*All fellows receive an all-expense paid trip to the fifth annual YP4
National Summit in Washington, D.C., to be held February 12–16, 2009. *At
the Summit, fellows meet leaders from the progressive community, network
with other activists and take part in a series of skill, leadership and
strategy development workshops.

Following the Summit, YP4 offers one-on-one support for fellows to implement
self-designed projects — called Blueprints for Social Justice Fellows can
also apply for the capacity building program, with professional coaching
sessions, group coaching and a paid internship.

The yearlong program provides each fellow with:

• Customized social justice, power analysis and organizing training

• Strategic and tactical training

• Network- and community-building opportunities

• Financial support to implement a self-designed Blueprint for Social
Justice

• Personalized leadership and professional development support and
mentorship

"*As the former president of the YP4 network, I can say they have provided
me the unique opportunity as a tribal college student to work with student
leaders nationwide on addressing the problems affecting our communities and
provide financial support to help address these problems. They understand
the need for Native students to stay in our communities so we can help
empower our own community."*

*—Kevin Killer <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAP58TcECBc&feature=user>,
YP4 Fellowship Class of 2006*

*Oglala Lakota College**, South Dakota*

Young People For is looking for professors, administrators, community
leaders and campus activists to nominate innovative and promising young
progressive leaders. Nominators play a crucial role in our search for
promising young leaders and activists. *Anyone can nominate a fellow.
Self-nominations are appropriate and encouraged.*

November 12 & 19 (Wednesdays) - Harvard Law School Native Foods Day
       Location:   Harkness Commons, Harvard Law School
       Time:        11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

November 10 (Monday) - Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the
Indian College
Location:   Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology - Hall of the North
American Indian
       Time:        5:00 –7:00 p.m.
Description:    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents a new
exhibition on the archaeology of Harvard Yard entitled Digging
Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at
Colonial Harvard. Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps,
and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at Colonial Harvard, and the
role of the Indian College in Harvard’s early years.

Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape
shaped by social and religious tensions—tensions that affected everything from
Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of
student life.  As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of
Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian
College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who
knew small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?
November 13 (Thursday) - From Stereotyping to Invisibility: Consequences of
American Indian Social Representations on American Indian and European American

       Time:        Reception: 6:00 – 6:30 p.m.; Presentation: 6:30 p.m.

Description:   Stephanie A. Fryberg, Assistant Professor in the department of
Psychology and an Affiliate Faculty member in American Indian Studies at the
University of Arizona, will examine the impact of both stereotypes and
invisibility on psychological wellbeing of American Indian students.

OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the NNEMS program is to: provide students with practical research
opportunities and experiences in EPA?s program and regional offices and in its
laboratories; increase public awareness of and involvement in environmental
issues; encourage qualified individuals to pursue environmental careers; and
help defray the costs associated with the pursuit of academic programs related
tothe field of environmental protection, such as pollution control, science,
engineering, technology, social science, and specialty areas. Under the NNEMS
program, a range of fellowship activities are offered to help students increase
their knowledge of environmental issues while refining their professional
skills. Each year, the NNEMS program offers approximately twenty to thirty
research projects, developed and sponsored by EPA Headquarters in Washington,
D.C. and in EPA?s ten regional offices and laboratories throughout the United
States. The projects are specifically narrow in scope, allowing students to
complete the research project while working fulltime at EPA during the summer or
part-time during the school year. Typically, the research is conducted at an EPA
office or laboratory, although other arrangements can be made in certain
circumstances.

ELIGIBILITY
A NNEMS fellowship is available to any associate, undergraduate, or advanced
student who is: a citizen of the United States, its territories or possessions,
or lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residency; enrolled for
academic credit at a two- or four-year college or university, or distance
learning institution accredited by a regional or national accrediting
organization recognized by the United States Department of Education or the
Council for Higher Education Accreditation; pursuing an educational program
directly related to pollution control or environmental protection for the
duration of the fellowship. Applicants must meet each of the requirements listed
above, as well as the appropriate requirements for associate, undergraduate, and
advanced students listed below:
Associate and Undergraduate Students--3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA)
based on a scale of 4.0 at the time that the application is due (a GPA of 2.999
for example, is not sufficient); Completion of at least four courses related to
the field of environmental studies.
Advanced Students--Currently enrolled in a graduate or Ph.D. program or can
provide proof of acceptance and enrollment to a graduate or Ph.D. program at the
time of fellowship award; and Completion of at least one semester of graduate or
Ph.D. work, or at least four undergraduate courses related to the field of
environmental studies.

FUNDING
The sponsor expects to award approximately 20 to 30 fellowships in
2009 for an estimated total amount of $300,000. Students selected for a
fellowship receive a grant award in the form of a stipend. The grant is paid in
monthly installments based on the duration of the project. Grant awards range
from approximately $7,400 to $12,600 per award for a three-month, full-time
period and reflect an individual student?s level of education, as well as the
location and duration of the research project. Even though students selected to
receive NNEMS fellowships are grantees and not federal employees, the formula
for the appropriate stipend amount is based on the current General Schedule
(GS)-04 through GS-09 federal pay scale, and includes standard government
locality rates. Freshmen students, for example, will be paid at the GS-04 rate;
advanced graduate students at the
GS-09 rate. The stipend will be increased to compensate for costs associated
with travel or training for research projects that require these activities.
Information about the GS pay scale by localities is available on line at
www.opm.gov/oca/07tables/indexGS.asp. NNEMS fellowships can not be extended or
renewed. Students currently holding a NNEMS fellowship may apply for a new
fellowship in 2009.
The existing fellowship, however, must be completed and the fellowship ended
before a student will be considered eligible to begin a new fellowship. Source:

2) HUD INTRODUCES NEW FINANCING PROGRAM TO EXPAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INDIAN
AND ALASKA NATIVE REGIONS - FREE WORKSHOPS

HUD INTRODUCES NEW FINANCING PROGRAM TO EXPAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INDIAN AND
ALASKA NATIVE REGIONS Office of Native American Housing offering free workshops
to clarify process, answer questions

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced a new program
today that will allow Indian tribes and Alaska Native Regional Corporations to
issue bonds and secure loans to finance affordable housing opportunities for
Native Americans. This new financing program encourages critical private
investment necessary to expand affordable housing projects in Indian Country and
Alaska.

"Today, we're launching an exciting new financing program that will stimulate
more affordable housing in Indian country and Alaska," said Rodger Boyd, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for HUD's Office of Native American Program. "This new
financing program will give these communities the financial boost they need to
meet their housing development needs."

The Indian Housing Block Grant Leveraging Finance Program (LFP) allows Federally
recognized Indian tribes, Alaska Native Regional Corporations, or their tribally
designated housing entities (TDHE) to obtain financing for affordable housing
projects by pledging a portion of their Indian Housing Block Grants (IHBG),
which is annual funding HUD provides these entities to provide a range of
affordable housing activities in Indian Country and Alaska..

Specifically, the entity can pledge up to one third of its future IHBG funding
to repay the debt on either a bond or a loan transaction. The financing obtained
under this new program may be used for any allowable affordable housing activity
as defined by Native American Housing and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA),
which includes developing or supporting affordable housing for rental or
homeownership and providing housing services.

In the coming weeks, HUD will sponsor four free information workshops for
tribes, TDHEs, lenders and other financial institutions. To register for the
following workshops, go to
http://olgclearinghouse.firstpic.org/lfp_training.php:
October 28 - 29 in Acme, Michigan
November 12 - 13 in Denver, Colorado
November 18 - 19, Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico
December 2 - 3, Seattle, Washington

HUD specialists will discuss the essential tools needed in order to leverage
funds and participate in the program, including acquiring needs assessments,
critical partnerships, development models, tribal stakeholder approval, tribal
bond financing partners, risk evaluation, cash flow, and debt servicing.

Participants will also be introduced to leveraging concepts such as
understanding credit ratings; raising capital through municipal bond markets;
evaluating benefits of taxable and tax exempt transactions; and structuring
projects that layer federal funds with private capital. Low Income Housing Tax
Credits, HOME funds, Affordable Housing Program dollars from the Federal Home
Loan Bank system, and low interest loans and grants from State Housing Finance
Agencies are some of the equity resources that make the development of
affordable housing viable. This new program is similar to the Capital Fund
Financing Program that's administered by HUD's Office of Public and Indian
Housing, which allows non-tribal public housing agencies (PHA) to raise
necessary capital in this way. Since 2000, HUD has approved 116 financing
proposals submitted by PHAs totaling approximately $3.6 billion.

4) BROWN TO GREEN: MAKE THE CONNECTION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY (SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO, DECEMBER 10-11, 2008)

The U.S. EPA and State of New Mexico - Energy, Minerals, & Natural Resources
Department and Environment Department - are hosting a one-and-a-half day
workshop focusing on reusing contaminated or previously contaminated properties
(Superfund, Brownfields, RCRA sites, mining sites, landfills, etc.) for
renewable energy production - solar, wind, geothermal and biomass. These
renewable energy projects could range from commercial-scale systems for local
energy needs to utility-scale electricity production supporting a regional grid.

The goal of this Interactive Workshop is to bring together a diverse group of
stakeholders to identify and discuss the unique opportunities and potential
obstacles for siting renewable energy projects on contaminated or previously
contaminated properties. Facilitated sessions will allow workshop participants
to share experiences and perspectives on renewable energy development in this
results-oriented venue. Participants will include renewable energy experts,
landowners, manufacturers, developers, financiers, consultants, utilities,
governmental agencies (Federal, State, Tribes, county, local), academia, and
community groups. A few of the workshop topics will include:

* EPA's National Renewable Energy Development Initiative for siting renewable
energy projects on contaminated or previously contaminated properties and mining
sites
* New Mexico's Clean Energy Initiatives - renewable energy portfolio standards,
production tax credit, and green power purchasing
* Common Elements of Success - What makes the deal work at contaminated
properties from a developer, financier and landowner perspective
(infrastructure, financial incentives, location, technical feasibility, etc.)
* State and Federal regulatory considerations - identify regulatory
concerns/encumbrances and means for resolution, along with integration of
renewable energy development into reclamation/closure plans and permits, etc.
* Tribal projects in renewable energy development
* Unique sources of funding to help assist with renewable energy projects
* Case studies of on-the-ground projects of renewable energy development,
success stories, and lessons learned
* Opportunities for renewable energy developers/manufacturers, utilities,
transmission experts, financiers, landowners, and community groups to network
and hear national and state perspectives as well as the opportunity to have
questions answered
* Much more....

This Workshop will be held at the Inn and Spa at Loretto in Santa Fe, New Mexico
on December 10-11, 2008. There is no cost to register. The hotel Loretto has
offered the conference rate (of $86 per night) for the entire week of December 7

5) AGENCIES PUBLISH FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON ENERGY CORRIDOR
DESIGNATION IN THE WEST - NEWS RELEASE

WASHINGTON, DC - Four Federal agencies today released a Final Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (Final PEIS) proposing to designate more than
6,000 miles of energy transport corridors on Federal lands in 11 Western States.

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the U.S.
Departments of Energy, Agriculture, and Defense (the Agencies) prepared the
Final PEIS as part of their work to implement Section 368 of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005. The proposed energy corridors would facilitate future siting of
oil, gas, and hydrogen pipelines, as well as electricity transmission and
distribution facilities on Federal lands in the West to meet the region's
increasing energy demands while mitigating potential harmful effects to the
environment.

"Up to now, Federal land management agencies have often designated energy
corridors and rights-of-way when local projects were proposed," said Assistant
Secretary of the Interior C. Stephen Allred. "Designating energy corridors using
a PEIS allows the participating Agencies to mitigate environmental effects and
reduce conflicts with other uses of Federal land. The results of this work will
speed the process of siting energy infrastructure on Federal lands in the West."

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the Secretaries of Agriculture, Defense,
Energy, and the Interior to designate energy transport corridors for oil, gas,
and hydrogen pipelines and electricity transmission and distribution facilities
on Federal lands in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The Act further directs that
environmental reviews be completed for the designation of such corridors, and
that the designated corridors are incorporated into the relevant agency land-use
and resource management plans or equivalent plans.

Energy transport corridors are agency-preferred locations where pipelines and
transmission lines may be sited and built in the future. Having a network of
corridors that could accommodate transportation systems for multiple energy
types potentially minimizes the proliferation of energy utility rights-of-way on
the Federal landscape. Eighty-two percent of the corridors analyzed in the Final
PEIS are located on BLM-managed lands, while 16 percent are on USDA Forest
Service lands. The remaining proposed corridor segments are on lands managed by
Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and National Park Service, or by the Department
of Defense. Individual projects proposed for these corridors would undergo
further, project-specific environmental analysis before being granted permits or
rights-of-way.

Corridors were sited using a four-step process that identified a number of
important lands and resources to be avoided to the fullest extent possible. The
Agencies examined factors that constrain where a network of energy transport
corridors could be located - including topographical, environmental and
regulatory constraints - as well as the overall suitability of particular lands
to support development and operation of energy transport infrastructure. In some
cases, corridors intersect or approach sensitive lands or resources. Most often
these intersections follow existing infrastructure such as highways,
transmission lines, or pipelines to avoid placing corridors in "greenfield"
(undeveloped) locations.

The PEIS identifies a number of requirements that will help ensure that energy
transport projects within Section 368 energy corridors are planned, implemented,
and operated in a manner that protects and enhances environmental resources.
Prepared under provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Final
PEIS outlines the potential environmental effects of two alternatives developed,
in part, by using comments received during a scoping period in Fall 2005, public
responses to preliminary maps published in June 2006, and public comments on the
draft PEIS during a 90-day comment period earlier this year.

The Agencies worked closely with local Federal land managers as well as local
government agencies to ensure that the proposed corridors were consistent with
local land management responsibilities and resource constraints. In preparing
the Final PEIS, the Agencies reviewed and considered all of the comments
received on the draft during the 90-day comment period, and made revisions to
the PEIS and adjustments to the corridors as appropriate and applicable. Aspects
of the alternatives were clarified or expanded to provide additional information
on the purpose and need for corridor designation, potential impacts to
resources, locations of sensitive resources or areas, or other concerns.

To review the Final PEIS and related documents, including detailed maps, visit
the project Website at http://corridoreis.anl.gov. Review copies are also
available at libraries and agency regional and field offices. Notice of the
availability of the Final PEIS will be published in the Federal Register on
Friday, November 28, 2008.

9) "CUSTOMER'S GUIDE TO SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS" - FREE AT
http://www.californiasolarcenter.org/pdfs/ppa/Rahus_SPPACustomersGuide_v20081005\
LR.pdf

Monday, October 6, 2008 - Martinez, CA) - The Rahus Institute today released a
guide for organizations interested in purchasing solar electricity without
buying the solar equipment. The "Customer's Guide to Solar Power Purchase
Agreements" provides an explanation of this rapidly growing business model where
a "solar services provider" installs the solar equipment at a university,
business, or other organization, and the organization pays only for the solar
electricity.
Using a reader-friendly style and colorful graphics, the straightforward,
easy-to-understand digital guide will help organizations throughout the United
States understand whether a solar power purchase agreement is right for them,
and if so, how to proceed.

"We want to help schools, government agencies, and other organizations
interested in using solar. This guide explains the basics about the solar power
purchase model and compares it against the other financing options," said Tor
Allen, Executive Director of the Rahus Institute. "We clarify exactly what a
solar power purchase agreement is, how to decide if it makes sense for your
organization, and how to work with experienced solar services providers."

The free guide is sponsored by several solar power services companies and
municipal utilities, including: MMA Renewable Energy Ventures, Solar Power
Partners, SunEdison, City of Palo Alto Utilities, Anaheim Public Utilities, City
of Lodi Electric Utility Department, and the Energy Trust of Oregon.

Just Out! Sustainability Unit for Social Studies
[http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/ei/y/42/923/692/curriculum-cover_natus_hs_68x\
89.gif]How do economics, history, and democracy relate to sustainability?
Students explore questions like these through engaging hands-on lessons in
Facing the Future's new high school social studies unit, Understanding
Sustainability<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/b>. Each
of the two-week unit's eight lessons is aligned with National Council for the
Social Studies standards for easy classroom integration. The 107-page unit
includes student readings, homework assignments, action project ideas, and links
to relevant films, books, magazines, and websites. Download a FREE overview and
table of contents.<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/n>

"This unit is thoughtful and engaging. It allows students to weave between
sustainability locally and globally. I especially appreciated the history lesson
as too often we look at sustainability as a modern notion; this will empower
students to look at this issue across time and space."
- High School Global Issues and World Affairs Teacher, Kent, WA

________________________________

Lesson Highlight: "Putting Our Community on the Map"
How well do your students know their local community and the resources available
there? In this two-day lesson, students get into groups to draw maps of their
neighborhoods. You might want to lead younger students on a walk to identify
physical features such as streets, buildings, and green space. Students can also
use Google Maps<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/p> to
identify particular kinds of resources in an area.

Have students label things on their map that are important to them or that they
think are important to the community. What are the best features of their
neighborhoods, and what could be improved? Students then come up with 5-10
components of a sustainable community and use these criteria to discuss how
sustainable they consider their neighborhood to be. Finally, they think of at
least five specific ways that the sustainability (environmental health, social
well-being, and economic prosperity) of their neighborhood could be increased.
After adding in their proposed changes, students share their maps and
recommendations with the rest of the class.

For step-by-step instructions on how to implement this and other lessons, see
Understanding
Sustainability<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/x>,
Facing the Future's two-week unit for high school social studies.

If you teach science, check out our sustainability unit for middle school
science<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/m>. Other
lessons on sustainability and two-week units on climate change are available to
download for free<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/c> on
our website.

________________________________

Community Action Ideas
There are many ways, big and small, that your students can bring their maps to
life. They could start by setting up a meeting with a neighborhood association,
the city planner's office, an environmental engineer, a developer, or a relevant
local business owner to present their maps and ask for feedback on their ideas
for improving the community. Have your students seek out and connect with local,
national, or global groups that are already working on their issues.

For example, if your students propose more green areas on their maps, they could
ask their local parks department if they can help plant some trees as part of
the Billion Tree
Campaign<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/q>.

If they would like to reduce the number of hungry people they see in the
community, your class can participate in Heifer International's Chores for
Change<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/a> program.

[http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/ei/y/42/923/692/pedestrians.gif]Do your
students want to make it safer to walk or bike to school? Starting a Safe Routes
to School<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/f> provides
detailed action steps and examples of programs at schools around the United
States. Walk Score<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/z> is
a website that assesses how walkable a neighborhood is by looking at how many
amenities are located within walking distance. Type in any address and find
nearby grocery stores, movie theaters, schools, parks, libraries, fitness
facilities, and more.

[http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/ei/y/42/923/692/cameras.gif]Naomi Harper and
her science students in Fair Oaks, California, are "using photography to zoom in
on climate change." Naomi was one of 30 teachers who received a classroom set of
digital cameras as part of Facing the Future's Climate Change Camera Grant. Her
students are using the cameras to capture personal actions they're taking to
reduce their carbon footprints while learning to think critically about the
issues at hand and how they can make a difference through Facing the Future's
free two-week unit, Climate Change: Connections and
Solutions<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/g>.

Naomi's students recently broke ground on a solar-powered studio to house KNRG
radio - "Solar Energy Broadcasters at Will Rogers Middle School." In addition,
the U.S. EPA recently named Will Rogers as an Energy Star school.
Congratulations!

As a Facing the Future Peer Educator, Naomi enjoys sharing her experiences in
sustainability education with other teachers. She will be presenting workshops
about her use of Facing the Future curriculum resources at the California League
of Middle Schools Technology Conference and the California Green Schools Summit
this month. Visit our website to learn about participating in Facing the
Future's Peer Educator
Program.<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/w>

National Education for Sustainability Standards
What does a sustainability literate student look like? Check out the National
Education for Sustainability K-12 Student Learning
Standards<http://facingthefuture.cmail5.com/t/y/l/dllhkd/tuttajtd/jl> that have
been developed as a guide for individual teachers and state departments of
education. The standards were compiled by the K-12 and Teacher Education Sector
of the U.S. Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development with input
from K-12 educators in public, private, and preservice (teacher education)
fields.

Harvard University Announcement

  Harvard University announced that from now on undergraduate students from
low-income families will pay no
  tuition.  In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers
said, "When only ten percent of the
  students in elite higher education come from families in the lower half of the
income distribution, we are not
  doing enough.  We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to
the lower half of the income
  distribution."

  If you know of a family earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student
graduating from high school soon,
  Harvard University wants to pay the tuition.  The prestigious university
recently announced that from now on
  undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free… no
tuition and no student loans!

  To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making less
than $60,000 a year, visit
  Harvard's financial aid website at: http://www.fao.fas.harvard.edu/
