A donor-driven project restroom and shower building project at the Cooper Center for Environmental Learning is moving a step forward.

Cooper Center is very excited for its first-ever Earth Day event on Saturday, April 22 from 4pm to 8pm. This event is for students, faculty, staff, and families from our University community and open to the community as well. We'll have desert activities, live music from Kyklo, free and delicious bbq from Midtown Vegan Deli, and an amazing guest speaker, Dr. Earyn McGee

Our amazing intern Andrea has been with us since August 2021 and graduated from the UA this December with a Masters in Language Reading and Culture. She has helped staff create a more linguistically inclusive and welcoming environment. She crossed paths with Cooper staff last summer during Curso del Verano in Guanajuato Mexico and assisted with their program development internationally.

The North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) held its 51st annual conference in Tucson this year and brought hundreds of educators and organizations from across the world together to discuss new and proven approaches to teaching environmental and social issues. Cooper Center's presence could be found throughout the four-day event...

Please join us in congratulating one of our amazing program coordinators, Mariah, who was recently awarded the University of Arizona College of Education Staff Award for Excellence! 

This marks Mariah’s fifth year with Cooper, first as an instructional specialist and then as a program coordinator and has developed our pre-school nature programs.
