The Higher Education Association Sustainability Consortium (HEASC) seeks applicants for two national Fellow positions to work on a new initiative entitled “Latino Leadership for a Sustainable Future.” This initiative is being launched in collaboration with HEASC member, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU).  After a series of meetings exploring the topic, it is clear that the Hispanic/Latino cultures will continue to grow in influence in the United States and in the potential to help build a more sustainable future. The initiative is intended to explore the connections between traditional cultures and sustainability values and to build the capacity for more Hispanics/Latinos to participate and take leadership roles in creating a sustainable future.

The Fellows positions require a commitment of approximately three hours per week and will:

• Develop a narrative connecting the values of Latino cultures and sustainability,
• Compile a list of resources for use on campuses (some resources are already gathered),
• Help write articles and digital messages to disseminate this information throughout higher education,
• Work in collaboration with Dr. Debra Rowe, director of the HEASC fellows program.
