Join Chris and Scott for a day of learning and hands-on practice of site analysis techniques to open up your knowledge base or help with projects related to: permaculture design and soil, water, wildlife and resource inventory. First at The Cobscook Community Learning Center we will have introductions to site analysis, permaculture design and extended environmental analysis information we will use later in the field. Next we will car pool to the site and begin our hands on component at field stations set up with: zone & sector analysis, mapping / contours, soil / water testing, and resource inventory. At about noon we will break for a bag lunch on the land and then continue with our site analysis. In the afternoon we will return to the Cobscook Community Learning Center for a power-point slideshow of current projects and examples related to "Site Analysis" & Permaculture Design. The class will finish by 4 PM in plenty of time to go about your day in beautiful sunrise county of down-east Maine

2010 Alumni Challenge

From the Office of Alumni Relations

For several years running, US News and World Report has rated Prescott College as a "Best in the West" College in their list of best colleges in the United States. One criteria used to determine this ranking is alumni giving.  At the present time, Prescott College alumni only donate approximately 8% of the College's Annual Fund. The national average for alumni giving at private institutions is approximately 25%. In order to sustain our "Best in the West" ranking, we challenge you to increase our alumni giving percentage and in turn support our current students.  

Keep in mind that we do not accept dues for membership into the Prescott College Alumni Association. Every individual who has ever graduated from or attended classes at Prescott College (RDP, ADP, MAP, and Ph.D.) is considered an alumnus and has active membership status in the Prescott College Alumni Association (PCAA). As a member of PCAA, you automatically receive monthly e-newsletters, Transitions Magazine, notices about alumni gatherings, access to alumni benefits and discounts, social networking, position announcements, career networking, and more! In lieu of collecting dues, we encourage you to support current Prescott College students. Prescott College relies on your gifts.
