Calling all high school and college students!
At this unique program, you have a chance to meet in small groups with professionals who make saving the planet their life work. Ask questions, learn how to pursue a green career, and inquire about internships/job shadowing opportunities.
This is a come-and-go format, with tables open from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. on October 6.
You will receive an event link through to the Remo platform. Simply join the event, and self-select which professionals to engage in conversation.
A list of attendees and sample questions will be provided, so that you know who to look for and what to ask.
Do you currently have a green career, and want to mentor area students?
Take a few hours to meet with small groups of students. Share your career experience with them, help them chart an academic pathway, and offer information on local internships and/or job shadowing opportunities with your employer (if applicable).
You will receive an event link through the Remo platform. Simply join the event and sit at your designated table. Engage with students in a come-and-go format (they can self-select where to go).

From fires to floods, the consequences of climate change are increasingly evident, and underserved communities often face the most severe impacts. Inspired by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Dr. Katharine Wilkinson’s All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis, this virtual panel discussion will bring together four Houston women whose work addresses climate justice:
- Dr. Denae King (TSU)
- Dr. Cymene Howe (Rice)
- Amy Catherine Dinn (Lone Star Legal Aid)
- Iris Gonzalez (Coalition for Environment, Equity & Resilience (CEER).
Join us on October 28, 2020 for a discussion about gender, climate change, and environmental justice. Co-sponsored by Rice’s Fondren Library Green Team, Rice’s Center for Environmental Studies, and Houston’s Citizens’ Environmental Coalition (CEC). Fondren Library is hosting this event as part of its participation in the ALA’s Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change grant.
