For the 2008 State of the Rockies Conference, State of the Rockies student researchers each hosted a workshop designed to elaborate on their findings in a community context. Bringing together experts, students, and concerned citizens, these workshops were designed to foster meaningful dialogue and encouraged community action. We were pleased to have had high community and student attendance, and to have experienced the diverse perspectives of truly interested people.
Three workshops were hosted Monday, April 7:
Affordable Housing in Colorado Springs: Existing Options and Future Opportunities – hosted by Wiley Rogers
Renewable Energy: Resedential Solutions to a National Issue – hosted by Elizabeth Kolbe
Managing Recreation in Colorado’s Wilderness and Wildlands – hosted by Brandon Goldstein
Two workshops were hosted on Tuesday April 8:
Immigration in Colorado Springs: Connecting Collorado College to local Immigrant Communities – hosted by Simon Cataldo
Restoration Opportunities in the Fountain Creek Watershed – hosted by Lucy Emerson-Bell
