College of Saint Benedict & Saint John's University

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In an ever-evolving effort to ensure academic opportunities remain at the cutting edge of issues and careers of importance well into the 21 st century, the faculty and boards of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University recently approved a new minor to be offered in climate studies, beginning in fall 2023.

With climate change looming as perhaps the biggest crisis of the foreseeable future, it is likely to require multiple solutions and complex thinking to find ways to reverse its effects and live with its reality. To address this need within a liberal arts education, Saint Ben's and Saint John's will incorporate many fields from the academic catalog into the new minor.

And, while climate science programs are offered at many research universities, few schools in the United States currently have a climate studies program of any kind - and even fewer among them are liberal arts colleges. The challenge of seeking to understand and craft solutions to the global climate crisis are quintessentially liberal arts endeavors, complementing CSB and SJU's existing environmental studies major.

"The great thing about our climate studies minor is that it is truly interdisciplinary," said Corrie Gross e, who has a doctorate in sociology and is an assistant professor of environmental studies at CSB and SJU. "Climate crisis requires all hands on deck to research, innovate and craft sustainable and just solutions. Our program builds on our existing liberal arts strengths in cultivating diverse skills and perspectives among our students - the leaders of the future."

The drive to add a climate studies minor came primarily from the students. They have lived their entire lives in a world of changing climate and seek greater understanding for it and a way to be part of the solutions to the crisis.

"I was really excited to hear about the climate studies minor because it gives more of a focused and expansive curriculum - in terms of environmental studies - about a topic that is going to become more and more pressing over time," said Jalayna Smith-Moore '24, a CSB senior from Richfield, Minnesota. "It is a really important minor to have for prospective students to be able to prepare for making solutions to climate change."

Saint Ben's and Saint John's have long been active both locally and globally in climate education. Students first attended the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) annual Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2009. In 2015, CSB and SJU were granted formal observer status, which has enabled student participation since. In the five-state region, the only other schools with such access include Macalester College and the University of Minnesota, and the latter restricts participation to graduate students. At CSB and SJU, Bennies and Johnnies learn about COP negotiations, draft research projects and then travel to the conferences. There they conduct primary research through observations and interviews with attendees from around the globe. The latest, COP 27, is from Nov. 6-18 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. The UNFCCC originated in 1992 and now includes more than 190 nations.

"The Benedictines who founded CSB and SJU have a history of being at the forefront of the study of conservation and stewarding resources to sustain both the human and non-human world," said Derek Larson, professor and chair of the environmental studies department at CSB and SJU. "We looked at the urgency and demand for action on the climate crisis and saw that we not only have the existing faculty expertise but coursework across departments was already being developed and taught with climate change in mind. The creation of the minor in climate studies provides a scaffold for students to adopt a deeper knowledge of the climate crisis that can be integrated into the pursuit of any major or career."

The climate studies minor requires 20 credits and can be paired with any existing major. Classes are offered in environmental studies, art, nutrition, chemistry, political science, sociology, business, communication, biology and other departments. The curriculum includes 14 foundational credits, four credits from upper-division electives in diverse fields, and two credits from integrating and deepening knowledge - either through a capstone project or attending the UN climate conference. No more than four of the 20 credits can count for another major or minor.

According to an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report in 2018, human activities have caused a 1.0-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures above pre-industrial levels. That increase is expected to reach 1.5 degrees between 2030 and 2052 and facilitate the rise of sea levels and its associated impacts. If the rise in temperature is not checked and continues to 2 degrees, results will include extreme heat in most inhabited regions of the world and the greater chance of excessive precipitation in some regions and probability of drought in others. Limiting the increase to 1.5 degrees is crucial to ocean temperature, acidity and oxygen levels, and the survival of small island nations and coastal populations. Answers will require "rapid and far-reaching" transitions in energy, land use, infrastructure and industrial systems.

"We have to decrease our emissions by half by 2030 in order to keep temperatures below 1.5 degrees (increase)," Grosse said. "We've got a narrow time window. These next 10 years are critical. We need students and graduates who are prepared to lead creatively, courageously and with justice at the center of their work."

Although we are well known for our international conservation successes, Round River's very roots come from the American West and its defenders of wilderness. We began our conservation work searching for Grizzlies in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, then assisting with the release of the Mexican Wolf in New Mexico, and later documenting the loss of White-bark Pine in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the subsequent impact on regional bear populations. Most recently we helped with the establishment of the Bear's Ears National Monument in Utah, and our long-standing research project examining the impacts of winter recreation on wolverines in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana continues today.

In early 2020, we began to explore a synergistic collaboration with Sky Island Alliance, a science-based non-profit that works in the transboundary desert islands on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Madrean Sky Islands, or Madrean Archipelago, is a world biodiversity hotspot in northwestern Mexico and the southwestern United States. This ecoregion is named for the 57 pine- and oak-studded mountain "islands" encompassed within and separated by desert and grassland "seas." These isolated sky island mountains, ranging from 3,000 to over 10,000 feet (915 - 3300m) in elevation, connect the Colorado Plateau and temperate north with the Sierra Madre Occidental and neotropical south. Plants, animals, and habitats of the Great Plains grasslands, Sonoran desert, and Chihuahuan desert also connect and blend together here with the temperate and tropical. This is where the jaguar and black bear meet, where bromeliads grow in the arms of maple trees, and spicy chiltepin pepper and sweet Arizona canyon grape grow side-by-side.

This region spans four states and two countries, and covers a patchwork of protected and unprotected public and private lands, interspersed by the cities of Tucson, Sierra Vista, and Nogales, Arizona; Silver City, New Mexico; and Hermosillo and Magdalena, Sonora. The majority of the sky island mountain ranges in the U.S. are part of the Coronado National Forest, the most ecologically diverse National Forest in the country. The Coronado National Forest also hosts more threatened and endangered species than any other National Forest in the U.S. In Mexico, these sky island mountains and low desert valleys are largely a mixture of private ranches, ejitidos, and Reserva Forestal Nacional.

What students think about climate change, what emotions arise when contemplating climate change, and how climate change impacts the college experience is an important aspect of the Midwest Climate Summit.

As part of the 2020-2021 Midwest Climate Summit, the Climate Stories Contest is a multi-media art competition across four categories: visual arts, film/photography, written word, and performing arts.

General Requirements

Participants must submit original artwork that illustrates the impact of the climate crisis on themselves, society or a subset of society (i.e. a specific demographic), and the work must communicate a message calling people to action.

The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students ages 18-25. First, second and third-place winners will be selected from each category, for a total of 12 award recognitions. Monetary prizes will be given to each of the 12 winning submissions; that information will be made available once it is finalized. Group or collaborative submissions are permitted but awards must be divided among group members.

Competition Deadline

All Climate Stories Project submissions must be submitted by Feb. 1, 2021. A submission portal will be available on the Midwest Climate Summit website by October 2, 2020.

Judging
