I’m sending this to you in the hopes that you’ll share it throughout your networks and take a moment to vote! Cooper Center is a finalist for Summit Hut’s Banff Grant and the competition is fierce! If we win, the award will lower field trip costs for the Title I schools that we serve.

The Cooper Center for Environmental Learning, an outreach program of the University of Arizona, sits on the traditional homelands of the Tohono O’odham and Pascua Yaqui, who have stewarded this land from time immemorial. Aligning with Cooper Center’s and the University’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility for us to recognize, represent, and acknowledge the ancestors, people, culture, and history our community resides on.
