Branching Out Symposium
2026-01-29 17:30 - 20:30
The Leahy Institute for Environment is hosting the inaugural Branching Out Symposium—an evening of presentations and celebration focused on Teaching, Learning, and Leadership in, for, and about the environment. The event will be held January 29th from 5:30–8:30 p.m. in the Roy Room.
The goal of the event is to uplift the work of students, faculty and staff, and highlight the many ways we learn about and care for the environment —across fields, disciplines, and lived experiences. The Leahy Instittue for the Environment looks forward to showcasing work that may not be traditionally labeled “environmental” but speaks to themes of sustainability, justice, community, identity, or our relationships with place. Alumni and local business partners are invited to join us for networking, conversation, and community building around shared environmental values and practices.

“Is It Good?”: AI Tools, the Practice of Translating, and Intercultural Communication.
2026-02-02 17:00 - 18:15 | Farrell Room, Saint Edmund’s Hall
Dr. Russell Valentino explores translation as a distinct practice that provides key insights into uses of generative AI. As a mode of writing at the interstices of analysis and “pure” creativity, translation combines research and invention with the need to convey messages across linguistic, historical, and cultural boundaries in a manner that is not just accurate but also effective. How do we recognize when we’ve failed or succeeded? How do we predict that one strategy is more or less likely to move our intended audience? The answers to such questions help to provide a limit case for the use of generative AI not just in translating but in other areas of inquiry as well.
Dr. Valentino’s talk will be followed by Q&A with the audience. Co-sponsored by the First Year Seminar Program, the Institute for Global Engagement, and the Global Languages & Cultures Program at Saint Michael’s College.

Join us on Tuesday, February 3rd at 5:00 p.m. in Cheray 111, as we open the Care for Our Common Home Speaker Series with a talk that lays the foundation for understanding the climate challenges shaping our shared future. This kickoff event explores the climate impacts already affecting communities worldwide and here in Vermont—from extreme rainfall and flooding to shifting seasons and stressed ecosystems. The talk then turns to one of today’s most significant emerging climate risks: the potential weakening or collapse of major ocean current systems that helps regulate global temperatures and weather patterns. This event sets the stage for our series, hosted by Dr. Brandon Montemuro, by connecting global climate science to local realities—and to our responsibility to care for our common home.
