Bucknell University Hosts 10th Annual Sustainability Symposium April 14-15 - Building Thriving Communities

The Bucknell Center for Sustainability & the Environment will host its 10th Annual Sustainability Symposium April 14-15 at the Elaine Langone Center on the Bucknell Campus in Lewisburg, Union County.

This year’s theme is Building Thriving Communities.

Curt Gervich, an associate professor in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh where he teaches courses in environmental leadership, law and policy, and sustainability will present the keynote address on April 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Gervich is trained as an environmental planner, with expertise in decision-making and leadership. His professional background includes developing habitat conservation plans in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, training community involvement specialists at the Environmental Protection Agency in best practices for participatory planning, and serving as a researcher and planner for the International Joint Commission for Great Lakes Management’s Social, Political and Economics technical advisory group.

Following the keynote address, a poster session will be held where researchers, students, and organizations will present their research and accomplishments on various topics, from botanical discoveries to prison garden programs to climate and environmental policy.

On April 15 starting at 9 a.m., Gervich and SUNY Plattsburgh students will lead symposium participants through a Climate Action Simulation with a mock United Nations Climate Negotiation to model how communities can move toward action.
