ADDRESSING THE “ALL STUDENTS” QUESTION: Join us again for this FREE webinar, that addresses some common issues that arise when doing HSI work. In this webinar we explore a thought-provoking, burning question that we often hear: “Why should we focus on and center our Latinx/e students? What about all students?”
We will discuss the different ways we go about answering this question, the different reasons it comes up, and offer you ideas on how you might address this question in your own context. Bring your colleagues: the information is geared toward anyone working in an emerging or current HSI (and much of the discussion is relevant to MSIs as well!) See you there! From noon to 1 p.m. Join the webinar at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMuf-2tqT0uGdxsJ92IMqzxWww5S9H1ij1V#/registration

Macricostas Preserve Sunset Hike
2024-10-11 17:00 - 19:00 | Macricostas Preserve
MACRICOSTAS PRESERVE SUNSET HIKE: Hike at Macricostas Preserve with the Adventure Club. The sunset is around 6:15 p.m., it’s a ~45 minute hike to the summit as a group. We will meet at the parking lot at 5 p.m. with an intent to start hiking at 5:15 p.m. Transportation will not be provided and those in attendance are expected to carpool and find their own ride. Limited carpooling will be offered from the Midtown campus police station, departure is at 4:10 p.m. Please contact tarbet002@wcsu.edu to see if there are remaining seats.
Macricostas Preserve Parking: 41.68288, -73.33368
What to wear:
Footwear with grippy soles
Pants for the weather
Layers for the upper body
What to consider:
Hat
Gloves
Something insulated to sit on-the rock at the summit is hard AND cold
Snack/dinner/something to eat
First aid kit
Trekking poles
What to avoid:
Cotton. It kills. It does not wick moisture and it does not dry
What to bring:
Small backpack/day pack
Preferably a headlamp. If not available, a flashlight. The phone should NOT be your light source
Water
Extra layers
Words of advice:
The ascent is steep. Avoid sweating by managing your layers while hiking. Having a base layer, a mid layer and an outer layer allows for more options than a big heavy parka. The ground may be wet, icy or slippery. Flat-soled shoes are guaranteed to have you on your rear end. Leave them home. The Pinnacle is exposed. There is always a breeze and it will get colder when the sun goes down. Additional layers for the upper and lower body are highly recommended. A headlamp offers a hands-free operation. You will need your hands to maintain your balance during the descent or to hold on to your trekking poles.
Leave No Trace. Pack out what you pack in
