Collaborations: Partnering for Success

 

At Salish Kootenai College, we recognize the importance of partnerships in strengthening our collaborations and fostering innovation. We are grateful for the support and partnership of the Waverley Street Foundation, which has made these collaborations possible.

In 2022, they awarded our Wildlife and Fisheries Department a significant grant opportunity to join their prestigious Climate Learning Hub Program. 

 

With the Waverley Street Foundation Partnership, we are:

  • Blending climate solutions with community needs.
  • The partnership is helping SKC boost the capacity of our Natural Resource Department Programs. 
  • Propel climate-related education and research. 
  • Empower our Students to excel
  • Support community engagement in projects and share knowledge

Thanks to Waverley Street Foundation funding, we've teamed up with other organizations to lend a hand with their projects. This means we can:

  • Share resource and expertise
  • Expand the impact of climate initiatives
  • Build a stronger network of collaborative projects

Natural Resource Escape Room 2024

 

The SKC Natural Resource Escape Room was launched in March for the CSKT & SKC Earth Day Event. This educational initiative was designed to promote environmental awareness and conservation efforts. Participants were challenged to complete puzzles and riddles to uncover clues in Forestry, Fire, Hydrology, wildlife, and Fisheries. United States Geological Survey (USGS), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) played a crucial role in designing interactive maps and assisting in running the escape room activities.
