More than 1,900 degrees were awarded, including 94 from our College, during the two ceremonies.

Nearly 30 years ago, the w88 online casino betting celebrated its first Winter Commencement ceremony at Lawlor Events Center because Spring Commencement had grown too large.

Tribal communities partner with w88 online casino betting researcher to build resilience to climate change

Indigenous communities outline their climate data priorities

Climate change is hitting the American Southwest hard. For Native American tribes in the region, these changes are threatening their ability to live on the land in the way that they have done for hundreds, or even thousands, of years.

In response, many tribes have developed their own climate change adaptation initiatives, and to see how Western science could help, the U.S. Department of Agriculture funded the Native Waters on Arid Lands project. The goal was to partner researchers with tribal communities to collaboratively understand how climate change was affecting the region and to come up with possible paths to adaptation.

Helen Fillmore, an w88 online casino betting researcher with the project and member of the Washoe Tribe, and her colleagues conducted two surveys to assess the type of information and data that would help Indigenous communities in their efforts to build climate resilience.

The surveys revealed surprising results:

  • The highest priorities were information related to climate adaptation on reservation lands and the role of Traditional Knowledge in adaptation.
  • Data about water quality were more important than data on water availability.
  • The highest-rated sources for climate-related information were local ones.

“I think it&w88 online casino betting;s shown that it&w88 online casino betting;s always good to be humble and to ask questions first, before starting to pursue something that isn&w88 online casino betting;t going to be needed or isn&w88 online casino betting;t going to be relevant to the communities that you&w88 online casino betting;re working with,” Fillmore said.

Members of the Washoe Tribe have embarked on a project to integrate use of their tribe&w88 online casino betting;s traditional knowledge into current land management strategies to restore Tahoe&w88 online casino betting;s Meeks Meadows, an area of cultural significance to the tribe.

The effort is called the MÁYALA WÁTA Restoration Project at Meeks Meadow, and is the subject of this w88 online casino betting Living With Fire Program Podcast episode featuring Helen Fillmore, an w88 online casino betting researcher and member of the Washoe Tribe.

Providing useful, accessible information

“Providing the most useful information and data and making them easily accessible supports tribal sovereignty, a critical factor when it comes to building resiliency to climate change.” –w88 online casino betting Researcher Helen Fillmore

"We are really excited to partner with w88 online casino betting’s 4-H Program on the 21stCentury Community Learning Program,” Philip Marsh, Valley High School assistant principal, said. “Our w88 online casino betting are eager to get involved, and the 4-H activities will give them more opportunity to do that.”

Chairez will be piloting the “4-H MAGIC Program.”The program, which stands for Mastery, Generosity, Independence and Community, uses six-week sessions that are designed to leverage student engagement, target academic intervention, and provide a diverse offering of enrichment opportunities to develop a community of out-of-school-time learners.

“We hope that this experience can be replicated at other high schools with similar needs,” Urban 4w88 online casino betting Program Manager Nora Luna said.

Governor Sisolak has proclaimed JanuaryRadon Action Month in w88 online casino betting, and w88 online casino betting is offering short- and long-term radon test kits so that homeowners can identify whether their homes have high levels of the cancer-causing gas and can take steps to mitigate risks. Radon test kits are available at w88 online casino betting offices and partnering locations statewide for free in the months of January and February.

w88 online casino betting is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It comes from the ground and can accumulate in homes, raising the risk of lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates 21,000 Americans die each year from w88 online casino betting-caused lung cancer, killing more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving and house fires.

The risk of w88 online casino betting-caused lung cancer can be reduced. A simple three-day test can determine if a house has a w88 online casino betting problem, and winter is the recommended time to test. If w88 online casino betting problems are found, they can be fixed.It is recommended to test homes every two years for w88 online casino betting risk.

Promoting the health and wellbeing of Nevadans

"It is important for the health and wellbeing of all Nevadans that one month each year should be set apart from the rest and be known as Radon Action Month in w88 online casino betting to support efforts to encourage all residents of the Silver State to test their homes for radon, mitigate elevated levels of radon, and have new homes built with radon-reducing materials and features." -The Governor’s Proclamation
