Campus Compact

🤝 Join us on Wednesday, July 22, at 2:00 p.m. ET for a webinar, co-hosted by Cornell’s Center on Democracy, the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, and Campus Compact, on how higher education institutions can participate in Braver Angels’ Citizens Commission on Immigration and foster dialogue across political and ideological differences.

The webinar will introduce the Citizens Commission on Immigration and its Common Ground Workshop model, highlight lessons from workshops and community forums held across the country, and discuss how campuses can host Braver Angels events that equip students and communities to listen, deliberate, and disagree constructively while connecting local dialogue to broader civic and policy conversations. 👩‍💻👨‍💻

🐝Approximately 4,000 species of native bee species live across North America, and unlike honeybees, many are solitary nesters that rely on forests, meadows, gardens, and even patches of bare ground to survive. These pollinators play a critical role in supporting biodiversity, healthy ecosystems, and agriculture, yet habitat loss and pesticide use continue to threaten their populations. 🍯🌸

This World Bee Day, small actions can help create safer habitats for native bees. Planting native trees and flowers provides bees with the nectar and pollen they need throughout the growing season, while reducing or avoiding pesticides protects them and other wildlife from harmful chemical exposure, which is a leading cause of declining populations.

Just as important is preserving the habitats bees rely on to nest and overwinter. Contrary to common belief, nearly 70% of bee species live underground in burrows, making patches of bare soil and hollow plant stems essential shelter for many native bee species.

Creating pollinator-friendly spaces on campuses, in communities, and at home sustain the ecosystems we all depend on. Let’s come together to bee kind to our pollinators!
