Los Graduados (The Graduates)

John Craig, Ph.D., VP Education and Outreach

The period in which the country celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, (Sept.15 to Oct. 15), has

come to an end for 2013. However, we continue to educate, enlighten, inspire and entertain through programming and are supporting a larger effort through the American Graduate program sponsored by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We are able to promote national programming through local outreach events such as an Independent Lens production called Los Graduados.

Celebrating Mother Earth

By Annmarie Dean

Sunday, April 22 marks the 42^nd anniversary of Earth Day and what many people consider the birth of the modern environmental movement. In 1970, 20 million Americans demonstrated for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive rallies and since that rally, the environmental movement has led to many milestones, including the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Act. In 1990, Earth Day celebrations went global resulting in a huge boost in recycling efforts.
