Cooper Gives Thanks To Paul Lindsey

Cooper Center was honored to work this past year with Michelle Silvers, Doctoral Student in Disability & Psychoeducational Studies. Michelle worked with our team to draft our first statement on the establishment of inclusive practices for our programs and facilities, aimed at ensuring that the Cooper Center experience is accessible and effective for differently-abled learners, educators, volunteers, and guests.

Black Lives Matter

A Statement from the Staff of the Cooper Center for Environmental Learning

We, the staff of the Cooper Center for Environmental Learning, condemn the murders of Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and so many more Black lives because of inhumane and racist actions by police officers and other white individuals. 

As an organization, we have been silent and complicit in perpetuating racism and white supremacy through our actions and our inactions. We are complicit in the deaths of Black women, men, children, queer and trans folx through our inaction and silence. This is unacceptable.
