SIPA Education Working Group

Hi All, Thank you for expressing interest in being a part of an Education Working Group at SIPA! A few of quick items:

1. Thanks to Pablo, we are building out a Google spreadsheet sharing a bit of information about ourselves-- I included some of the information that you shared with me, but please add anything you would like so we can get an idea of the breadth of experience we bring to the table as a group http://bit.ly/sipaed
2. Mark your calendars for 1pm on Monday, October 10th for an initial planning meeting. MDP Program Assistant Extraordinaire Corey Pargee is working on a room reservation- I'll let you know when we get a location secured. 
3. Rochester's David Hursh has been invited by Columbia University to work in the Earth Institute as a visiting research scholar, where he will focus on education in the Millennium Villages during the 2011-12 academic year. He is currently developing curriculum for a course on education for sustainable development to be taught at SIPA in the spring semester, and has offered to meet with us at Brad's Cafe (near Journalism) TODAY Tuesday, October 4th at 5pm to talk through curriculum ideas. Pretty excited about being able to offer this kind of input! Apologies for the last-minute notice, but if you are interested check out more about David at http://thepointrochester.org/initiative-profiles/individuals/david-hursh-phd/ 

Please feel free to pass this on to other interested students as well!
Cheers,
Debi
