Earlier this month, Sue Margulis had the opportunity to attend the AJCU Faith, Justice, and Reconciliation Assembly at Loyola University Chicago. She served on one of six AJCU commissions tasked with presenting ideas on how to further key mission-focused initiatives. As part of the Laudato Si’ Commission, Margulis worked with a diverse group of more than 20 faculty from 14 Jesuit universities to offer clear recommendations regarding sustainability efforts at our institutions. A recent article in the National Catholic Reporter highlighted the Commission’s work.
Pictured above are some of the members of the Laudato Si’ Commission at their AJCU presentation.

Professor Yvonne Widenor and Dr. Sue Margulis spent spring break in Germany with 15 students enrolled in FAH273, a zoo and museum experience.
The group visited the Hagenbeck Tierpark, the Berlin Zoo, Zoo Leipzig, Museum Island, the Berlin Wall, and many other sites in Berlin. We enjoyed a photo opp at Zoo Leipzig with the zoo’s mascot!

The students in the core capstone ABEC404 (Wildlife Ecology and Conservation in Africa) collected more than 2,000 cans and bottles during their “recycle for rhinos” effort.
The funds, along with a few donations, will go towards supporting rhino conservation efforts in South Africa by funding fly-overs in ultralight aircraft to spot poachers and monitor rhino populations.
Thank you to everyone who supported this effort, especially the big soda-consumers out there (you know who you are…).
