EPA Invests in New Jersey Students with Grant for Bergen Community College
NEW YORK (Sept. 12, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) announced that it has awarded a $100,000 grant to Bergen Community
College (BCC) in Paramus, New Jersey to engage students as active learners and
critical thinkers with a focus on energy and resource conservation, designing
for sustainability and how to be better environmental stewards.
The college, which has a large Hispanic student body, will use sustainable
design challenges to keep the students invested in learning. These exercises
address sustainability obstacles by encouraging creative, impactful solutions.
BCC’s framework will be based on the official 2020 New Jersey Student
Learning Standards for Science (NJSLS-S) education that describes the
expectation for what students should know and be able to do as well as promote
three-dimensional science instruction across the three science domains (i.e.,
physical sciences, life science, earth, and space sciences). The BCC’s
environmental education program will bring together high school faculty,
college professors, students and technical experts from industry and the
community to develop solutions to design challenges taking into account new
learning standards for climate change education.
“Young people hold tomorrow’s solutions to today’s problems and the BCC
students will look at our challenges with fresh and creative eyes,” said EPA
Regional Administrator Lisa F. Garcia. “By giving students the tools to
engage in environmental stewardship, EPA is investing in the next
generation.”
This school year, thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America agenda,
students across the country are going back to school with the opportunities
for the greener and cleaner future they deserve. Through the investments in
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, EPA is
helping to build a future where all children can breathe cleaner air, drink
cleaner water, and live in healthier neighborhoods. For more information about
