Addressing Islamophobia: Proactive Efforts to Address Hate and Bias on Campus featuring Amer Ahmed
Thursday, Nov. 3, 7 p.m.
McHugh Commons or Zoom (register for the Zoom option)
The post-9/11 era in the U.S. has exposed a significant degree of prejudice and bigotry towards Muslim people. More recently, the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election has exacerbated the broad vilification of Muslims to serve political agendas. In 2012, a violent hate-motivated attack on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin highlighted the fact that Islamophobia is not just an issue that only impacts Muslims in America. Meanwhile, underscored by the horrific murders of three UNC students, there continues to be widespread racial profiling, hate crimes and bullying throughout the country and on our campuses. In light of this reality, questions remain regarding what administrators and faculty on campuses can do to proactively address these issues. This presentation will educate and update participants on the current realities related to Islamophobia and will challenge participants to develop practical steps that can be made on their respective campuses to address the issue.

Hope to see you there,

Peony Fhagen 

Senior Associate Dean of Equity, Inclusion, and Faculty Development

Halloween Costume Exchange

The Office of Sustainability put on a Halloween costume exchange for students on Oct. 27 and 28 in Hybl Community Center. Despite the snow, many students came and swapped their costumes! “We left the first day with about one-third of all items that circulated, and the second day with only one box – meaning almost everything was taken! Many people were wondering if this is an event that will continue into different seasonal holidays or even make the Halloween pop-up an annual tradition for OOS, and I really hope it becomes one,” says Meredith Kuster ’23, an Office of Sustainability intern. The event was a collective effort by the Office of Sustainability’s waste and CC Exchange teams to find creative ways to educate the student body on how to reduce waste during Halloween.
EcoFund
Are you a CC student interested in implementing campus sustainability projects?
If so, EcoFund is for you! EcoFund is an initiative available to current CC students who are interested in projects, events, or research about sustainability. The goal of EcoFund is to foster the design and implementation of campus sustainability initiatives through funding student projects. Students are encouraged to apply if they have an idea that aligns with one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and is aligned with our campus sustainability initiatives. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the academic year and are maintained through the Office of Sustainability. The student is responsible for implementing and advocating for their project and may be awarded up to $1,000 per project.

SOP Central Plant & Tunnel Tour 
In partnership with the Central Plant, the Office of Sustainability presents CC’s Central Pant Tour with Supervisor Justin Porter. This tour is part of the Sense of Place Program designed for CC community members including students, staff, and faculty to foster a more profound sense of geography and create a resilient and conscious community. The tour will cover CC’s energy infrastructure and give participants a chance to see how the temperature of campus buildings is regulated through boilers, chillers, and tunnels. The tour is about 90 minutes and has an exciting new addition this year that allows participants to see the tunnels underneath CC’s campus.This session will take place on Dec. 7 at 1-2:30 p.m. sign up on Summit by December 5th. If you have any accessibility requests please reach out to jporter@coloradocollege.edu.

Emissions Survey 
The Emissions team at the Office of Sustainability has created an emissions survey for the 2022-23 academic year.
Staff & Faculty Commuter Survey: If you are a CC faculty or staff member, please consider filling in the Staff and Faculty Commuter Survey. The survey is designed to gather data regarding staff and faculty commute emissions. The data will be used to examine alternative modes of transportation that the community uses, and the emissions will be calculated for CC’s annual Greenhouse Gas Inventory Technical Report.

Student Travel Survey:  CC students are encouraged to fill out The student travel survey, which is designed to gather data regarding student commute emissions. 
COP27
