Or maybe just towards $8 a cup? This Wednesday, noon eastern on the National Climate Seminar, join us for “Climate and Coffee”, a conversation with Paul Comey, VP for Environmental Affairs at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Coffee likes a pretty narrow set of ecological conditions, and climate change has already begun to impact supplies. Join us for a discussion of coffee futures, and how coffee companies’ sustainability focus can make a difference. Call-in number: 1-712-432-3100; Conference Code: 253385. Send advance questions for Paul to [email protected]. Later in the term, the National Climate Seminar will include Columbia’s Cynthia Rosenzweig on climate and agriculture, and Jihan Gearon from the Black Mesa Coaltion on their frontlines climate work. See the full schedule below. As graduation approaches, I am writing to reach out to capable seniors or alums who are unsure of their plans for the next year. At this critical moment in human history, we can’t afford any future sustainability leaders spinning their wheels for a year. We have a few spots still open in Bard CEP’s MS programs in Environmental Policy and Climate Science and Policy for next fall. Next year as well, we are launching our new MBA in Sustainability —a weekend intensive program based in NYC and one of a handful of programs around the world that fully integrate sustainability into a rigorous graduate business curriculum. I used to advise students to take a year or two “off” before starting their career. I don’t do that anymore. There is too much work to do, and too little time to get it done. I am always glad to set up at time to talk with your students about their future careers—including information about our graduate programs, but more broadly about helping students find their next steps. We are also pleased to announce two new $20,000 scholarships for the MS programs—one for domestic students and another for international. Thank you for passing this note along to interested students and alums. Thanks for the work you are doing— Eban National Climate Seminar - Spring 2012 Feb. 1 Jon Shenk, Filmmaker, Actual Films The Island President: Climate Story-telling Feb. 15 Anthony Leiserowitz, Director,Yale Project on Climate Change Communication Six Americas: Communication on Climate Mar. 7 Billy Parish, author and founder, Solar Mosaic Climate Careers: Finding Meaning, Money and Community Mar. 21 Auden Schendler, VP for Sustainability, Aspen Skiing Company Getting Green Done: Sustainability Work on the Front Lines Apr. 4 Paul Comey, VP of Environmental Affairs, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters The Climate for Coffee Apr. 18 Cynthia Rosenzweig, Director, Climate Impacts Group, NASA Goddard Institute Climate and Food Supply May. 2 Jihan Gearon, Director, Black Mesa Coalition Carbon Supply Chain: Black Mesa and Beyond Calls are every other Wednesday at noon Eastern time.
