Ignatian Family Teach-In (Spring)

Spring 2010 Ignatian Family Teach-In on Immigration

March 5-8, 2010

Wheeling, West Virginia

In response to wide-spread feedback from students and staff at Jesuit high schools, universities, and parishes, ISN will organize a national teach-in on environmental justice and sustainability. This interest follows a growing national trend of Jesuit universities, high schools, parishes, and ministries who are looking at their ecological footprints and making strides to create more environmentally sustainable campuses and communities.

The vision for this Teach-In is to address the following questions: What are the moral implications of climate change and who is most impacted? What are challenges and opportunities presented by the climate crisis? What are the best practices for making your campus greener and more sustainable? What are the environmental policies that we should focus our attention on?

Invited Speakers:

• Dan Misleh, Catholic Coalition on Climate Change
• Maria Gunnoe, Winner of the Goldman Prize and Director of the Ohio Valley Enviromental Coalition
• Jessy Tolken, Environmental Action Coalition
• Jerome Ringo, Apollo Alliance
