Edmonds College hosts new climate change and community resilience exhibit
LYNNWOOD — Through Jan. 31, Edmonds Community College is hosting a traveling exhibit on climate change and community resilience. The exhibit, displayed in the college’s library, consists of posters and hands-on activities from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and artwork created by current students.
The exhibit examines climate change and its effects on a national scale, with the school adding supplemental research to connect viewers with local information. Each panel includes a QR code for visitors to scan, or you can access the resources online on the college’s website.
The college’s faculty Environmental Justice Committee initiated the effort to bring the exhibit to campus after Rachel Wade, a committee member and faculty member for the School of STEM, said she stumbled upon the exhibit last winter online and immediately believed it would be an impactful display for the college.
With funding from the college’s Kickstarter grants program and support from multiple departments and the student-led sustainability group Green Team, the school shipped the exhibit from Alaska to campus in Lynnwood and held an open house to celebrate on Nov. 21.
