DIGEST 1/31/22- the illusion of levity/brevity one

  Hello ENST and E&C folks Well, there we have it, we're Cal Poly Humboldt! As I have mentioned before, ENST faculty and students feel both excited and trepidatious about this-- there are a lot of pros and cons, as with any significant change. Let's hope our panel with Robin Wall Kimmerer in December makes some key interventions! A couple ENST - related announcements: 1. We are hiring next year's Peer Mentors!

Dear ENST and E&C community,   We are creeping into week 2 here. The chaos around repopulation of campus still swirls. I hope you are all taking time to keep your mind and body intact, that at least some of your classes are inspiring, and that you are enjoying this sunshine. Just a reminder, I'm moving these emails to a blog home on our ENST webpage, since so much of the content of our digests would be great to have archived for future reference, here. That blog is also linked on our ENST webpage, here, so it's always findable, and you don't have to hunt through your inboxes. Soon, we'll launch the Canvas ENST Student Resource Hub, where you'll also be able to find these and much more.

My aim is to provide this info in the way you best like to receive it.   Here are the announcements for the week:  1. Master's student assistantship in Home Ign

DIGEST 12/13/21: The last one of 2021 one

It hasn't been pretty, I know, but you've accomplished so much, just by hanging in there. If you also managed to take care of anybody else, attend extracurricular events, or cultivate a practice of joy, then you're really extra super winning. If you attended last week's event with Robin Wall Kimmerer, then you know that we have a lot of work to do in the upcoming years to make HSU a justice-focused polytechnic. ENST is committed to that work in all our efforts, and it gives us gratification to see you all out there doing the same-- decolonizing CCAT, changing the narrative around outdoor and wilderness culture, bridging abolition and environmental justice, working on food sovereignty, and bringing your social justice lens to everything you do, from lo
