Akasha Solis
Dear Campus Community:
The Office of the President, in partnership with the Appalachian Mountain Club, is excited to kick-off the 2021 programming sponsored by our campus Outdoors Club.
Many of you know that the original (modern version) of the Outdoors Club was managed by three alumni, Akasha Solis (’16), Ashley Stein (’17), and Justin Bailey (’11) with a primary goal of increasing awareness for our campus community of how we might become active stewards of the great outdoors.
As we have worked to restructure programming during COVID-19, we recognize that there are real challenges in maintaining social distance guidelines while also being a part of the outdoor activity and conservation movement.
While we begin to plan for a possible return to group activities in the late Fall, we’d love to have you join our mailing list where we will keep you updated on planned activities, share news from AMC and special invites geared toward the novice nature enthusiasts and those with deep experience in activities like hiking, climbing, backpacking, conservation activism, and similar activities.
This program is open to all faculty, staff, and students as we believe awareness and education of climate issues and recreational activities should go hand in hand. We would love to hear from you and connect with anyone who is interested in joining our mission and staying up to date with events being planned. And, if you have friends across our sister campuses, we’d love to have them join us!
Let’s make the most out of 2021, stay COVID-19 safe, and explore the outdoors together!
For more information, and to join our mailing list, please email ccnyoutdoors@citymail.cuny.edu .
Sincerely,
Akasha Solis on behalf of the CCNY Outdoors Club
