EE Connections Newsletter Expanding and Timelier

The Pennsylvania Center for Environmental Education (PCEE) is expanding the format of its newsletter, EE Connections, to better serve our readers. The purpose of EE Connections is to inform Pennsylvanians about Environmental Education opportunities. PCEE will be electronically mailing the newsletter early each month; therefore permitting news and important information to be available in a more timely fashion and to a broader audience.

The electronic newsletter will be categorized in a table of contents with a link to each section. Each specific section can be accessed just by clicking on its heading in the table of contents, accessing as many or as few as you want. Examples of categories in the newsletter include: PCEE News and Updates, General EE News, K-12 Education, and Higher Education.

If you would like to contribute to future EE Connections issues, please submit your article before the 15th of the month (i.e. for April’s newsletter, articles must be submitted before March 15th). Articles are to be of statewide interest, and inclusion in the newsletter is subject to space availability.
If you know anyone who would benefit from receiving EE Connections, please contact PCEE at pcee@sru.edu or 724-738-4555.
