Along with Kurt Teichert, Manager of Environmental Stewardship Initiatives at the Center for Environmental Studies, I was lucky enough to travel to New Orleans to visit our friends at Dillard University. Out of the Clinton Global Initiative University commitment that Brown and Dillard entered in fall 2008, emerges the new program at Dillard. In step with our Brown Is Green, they have Bleu Can Be Green.
On Thursday, Kurt and I spoke to efforts at Brown towards a sustainable campus and community, highlighting academic work, student activism, and CCURB. Our visit coincided with the launch of their mini-grants program.
More information about their Mini-Grants available for download here.
Thanks to Dr. Chambliss for a wonderful tour of the city, and all her hard work in launching the mini-grants, Carmelita Foster and Maime Butler for their work organizing and hosting the event, and President Hughes for championing this initiative and visiting with us in her office.
