Conservation & Research @ the Garden
I want to share with you the Garden’s new video on sustainability, presented in conjunction with the Design for a Living World exhibit and sponsored by First Solar. The first video of the series features Dr. Kimberlie McCue and Brandi Eide talking about some of the ways our research staff supports conservation efforts.

Student Leader Program / Bank of America 2012 Neighborhood Excellence Initiative
The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders® Program is accepting applications for the 2012 program.
Since its inception in 2004, the Bank of America Student Leaders Program has recognized more than 1,600 exemplary high school juniors and seniors with a passion for improving their communities. The program helps students gain a greater understanding of how nonprofits create impact in the community and helps develop them as the next generation of community leaders through two components:
· A summer 2012 eight-week paid internship with selected nonprofit organizations designed to provide opportunities for the students to develop and apply leadership skills through hands-on work experience, while raising their awareness of community issues addressed by their Host Organization.
· A week-long all-expense paid Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., July 15-20. Conducted in partnership with the Close Up Foundation, the Summit introduces students to aspects of civic, social and business leadership and provides them with knowledge and skills they will use throughout their life to create positive community change.
Please note the application deadline of January 25, 2012
