Rouwenna Lamm from Alliance for Climate Education visits the LLC to speak about Student Action Programs

After a presentation to freshmen in the auditorium on Thursday, Rouwenna Lamm will be in the Library Learning Commons during lunch waves to meet with students and talk about promoting Student Action Programs. 

Rouwenna will be speaking about her work for the Alliance for Climate Education. 

Check out their website and see her bio below.

Rouwenna Lamm is a Kentucky native with a B.A. in astronomy and physics from Smith College in Massachusetts. During high school and college, Rouwenna was interested in teen education and held a variety of positions educating youth about health, science, outdoor-living, and community development. She started working on climate change during her senior year in college after attending Power Shift 2007. Inspired by the youth and adults at the conference, she joined the newly formed Massachusetts Power Shift and planned a climate conference for hundreds of students and community members. She then helped the group transform into a network of student climate advocates pushing for legislative and social change to address climate change.

After college, Rouwenna took a 9-month internship with the Union of Concerned Scientists where she was working to connect scientists with policy makers and the public to increase climate education and push for legislative action to address climate change. She also helped produce reports on the impacts of climate change in the Midwest. Rouwenna is excited to join the ACE team and continue educating and empowering youth to fight for their futures.

AP Testing in LLC

As you know AP Testing is happening this week and next in the LLC.

First of all, we will not be hosting an Open Mic in May because of APs.

Secondly, we ask that when AP tests are happening that you study silently in the library so that the students taking tests can focus on their tests and not be disturbed.

On Thursday, May 12th, the library will be closed from 7:30 until 12:00 because AP testing will happen on the main floor of the library to accomodate the number of students taking the test that day.

Thanks for all your help in following these directions over the next two weeks.
