Dr. Marion Young wins Creation Care Small Grant

Congratulations to psychology professor Marion Young! Last week, the Catholic Climate Covenant announced the winners of the Victory Noll Sisters Small Grants program. According to their website:

Funds will go to a wide variety of ecological and Laudato-Si’-inspired projects including community gardens that provide healthy produce for food programs, educational efforts to bring greater awareness of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical on the environment, growing tree canopies around schools and parishes, and instituting recycling and composting projects to dramatically cut waste in school and parish cafeterias. 

Dr. Young’s grant will fund a project to create additional curriculum in a senior level Honors Capstone Experience course including materials for Earth day related event on campus.

Well done, professor Young!
