CUNY graduate students Shawndel Fraser (left) and Bijan Kimiagar shared one of five PSC Environmental Justice Awards, presented March 11 at the annual Nature, Ecology and Society (NES) Colloquium at the Graduate Center. They received one of three “Spirit of NES” awards, for using visual or digital media to enhance understanding of climate change, as did Nina Young, an adjunct assistant professor at City Tech, and artist Sharon Abreu. Two “We Are In This Together” awards, for work involving community action, went to CUNY grad student Christine Caruso and Ryan Lugalia-Hollon, a Chicago community activist.
