Interested participants can meet with JoLee Karnz either virtually or in-person, and may (if they choose) be featured on a podcast series produced by the Luann Dummer Center to be shared with the broader community. For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact JoLee Karnz (jolee.karnz@stthomas.edu) or Arianna Wegley (wegl8157@stthomas.edu).

• "What's in the Gallery?" - Have you checked out the Sustainability Arts Gallery (located outside the OEC Auditorium) lately? This rotating gallery is a collaboration of the Office of Sustainability Initiatives and the College of Arts and Sciences Curatorial Team. The Sustainability Arts Gallery is an evolving, living space, continuously activated with new artwork, interdisciplinary research, and interactive activities. Through the integration of research, art, and experiences, this space seeks to inspire us to explore and deepen our understanding of and appreciation for the ecosystems that sustain us and our ability to care for our common home. This month's exhibit, titled Salt of a Lost Winter, explores the importance of "salting smart" during the winter season. Check it out next time you are on campus!
