Will be one of our guests on a great show. Below is some information on Kelly and on the school's Environmental Center. Fascinating stuff:
"Kelly Simmons has been the manager of the Sustainable
Practices Program, a non-credit, professional certificate-granting program of
the Environmental Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, since 2010
where she oversees instructors, course design and content, strategic planning,
budgets, and curriculum development. She
also teaches a for-credit Permaculture Design course in the University’s
Environmental Studies Department. In
2013, she led a team of volunteers in creating a public workshop on Dr. Al
Bartlett’s award-winning lecture “Arithmetic, Population and Sustainability” to
preserve his legacy and make his work widely available after his death. Prior to working for the university, Kelly
was living and working at Green School, an award winning K-12 international
school in Bali, Indonesia where she designed and taught a sustainability
curriculum for grades 1-8.
Kelly has a BA in Environmental Studies from the University
of California, Santa Cruz and a Master’s in Education with Honors from Regis
University. She also holds Permaculture Design Diplomas in Education and
Community Service, and a Sustainability Management certificate from CU, and a
GRI Reporting Certificate. In 2008, she
received an Emerging Leader award from the City Highland Club in Boulder."
