Congratulations are also in order to Portland Community College for winning the 2017 Climate Leadership Award. PCC is a founding member of GPSEN and is committed to working on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. You can learn more about PCC’s commitment to sustainability practices and sustainability education in this video by PCC president, Mark Mitsui.
We want to thank everyone who came to the “Global Goals, Local Leaders” celebration of UN Day at the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) in October. It was a remarkable event, with excellent food for thought provided by our inspiring speakers, Djimet Dogo from Africa House and Jordie Hannum from the Better World Campaign (pictured below). We also thank the volunteers from GPSEN, the United Nations Association-Portland and Hosteling International USA-Portland Hawthorne Hostel who helped make it happen.
