A few weeks ago, the US celebrated Constitution Day. The US Constitution provides the very foundation that American values and liberties are built on. For next week's American Identity Special Edition, we'll take a look at the Constitution: how it was made, who made it, and how it has evolved (or not) with the times.
The American Identity series is dedicated to enhancing understanding of American history and identity, spanning from pre-colonial times to the contemporary era.
📅 When? September 22, 7 PM.
📍 Where? Online, you will receive an email with the Zoom link on the date of the event.

Mt. Everest, called Sagarmatha or "peak of heaven" in Nepalese, was first summited in 1953. Since then, a burgeoning tourism industry has grown around climbing Everest. Very rich people often wait years and pay tens of thousands of dollars to join a group that is ascending to the summit, and to say that they've been to the roof of the world. This has come at a cost- Everest is overcrowded, and the large numbers of people are causing heretofore unseen environemental degradation, in addition to labor exploitation issues around the local Sherpa guides. We'll discuss all things Everest- what it's like to climb it, why people climb it, and whether the environmental impacts of the Everest climbing industry are worth it.
