Sustainability Public Service Announcement (SPSA) Project - Campus-wide Messaging Campaign!
The Sustainability Public Service Announcement (SPSA) Project at the City College of New York, based in Science Education & Public Engagement, is a faculty learning community creating a campus messaging campaign around sustainability topics with digital content created by over a thousand City College students showing on the public display screens throughout campus. Sponsored by the Campus Engagement Network, this interdisciplinary Project led by faculty members Stephanie Rose in the School of Education and Pamela Stemberg in Humanities brings together a cohort of over 25 instructors from departments across City College including the School of Education, Humanities & Arts, Division of Science, Colin Powell School, and the Spitzer School of Architecture to implement a common SPSA assignment in their courses. Students are asked to create engaging digital PSAs for the campus community on sustainability issues that also highlight sustainability organizations and initiatives on campus, in Harlem, or throughout New York City, and their internship offerings. The Project may spark student interest in sustainability topics for future coursework, community engagement, and eventually become a focus brought into the many economic sectors that employ City College students.Participating instructors for Spring 2024 include: Paul Bartlett, Brian Brennan, Leslie Carpenter, Danielle Carr, Julianne Davidow, Shira Epstein, Caitlin Geoghan, Robert Higney, Hunter, David John, Z. Johnny Luo, Kyle McDonald, Diomaris Padilla, Vaclav Paris, Glen Patterson, Stephanie Rose, Pamela Stemberg, Anna Voisard, Debra Williams, and Yael Wyner.
Participating instructors for Fall 2023 include: Jennifer Buno, Danielle Carr, Deborah Cheng, Julianne Davidow, Davian Ellis, Marilyn Gunner, Kevaughn Hunter, David John, Yoo Jin Lee, Nicola MacDonald, Kyle McDonald, Deirdre Nolan Diomaris Padilla, Emily Raboteau, Samantha Richman, Stephanie Rose, Pamela Stemberg, Debra Williams, June Williamson, and Yael Wyner.To see the hundreds of student-made PSAs in this project, check out our website link here.
