On April 6, Pine Technical College hosted its first of four (4) Earth Month events. Former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” was shown in the College auditorium to a near full-house. Attendees enjoyed refreshments and a short commentary and introduction from Pine Technical College biological sciences instructor Alexis Grinde.
Grinde recently was honored with a Teaching Award for Excellence, and along with the award, Grinde received a grant to support her ongoing study of global climate change. Grinde has partnered with the College’s Ever Green Club in an effort to promote education on topics involving the environment.
As part of Grinde’s grant project, the four Earth Month events planned for the month of April are designed to achieve two goals: first, to educate both students and members of our community regarding everyday environmental topics, and second, to promote constructive dialogue on sometimes-controversial topics.
Mark your calendars for the next Earth Month event, April 13. The event, “Raptors and Environmental Change,” will feature guest presenters from the Audubon Center and live animal presentations.
