DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate National Pollinator Week!\n\nThe Office of Stude
 nt Academic Services in collaboration with the Sonia Bujold Initiative and
  Let’s Talk Science\, has put together a lovely free online booklet of sel
 f-paced activities on pollinators.\n\nPollinators such as bees\, bats\, bi
 rds\, butterflies\, and beetles do us an invaluable service. They are just
  as important as the warmth of the sunlight\, the nutrients in the soil\, 
 and the purity of the water\, for they help to pollinate over 75% of the w
 orld's flowering plants! Learn to identify different native pollinators an
 d plants. Get tips for planting a pollinator-friendly garden\, do arts\, p
 lay games and much more. There is something for everyone to enjoy!\n\n\n	Fo
 r children and adults of all ages.\n	The activity booklet is available in b
 oth French and English.\n	Register now to receive your booklet on Friday Ju
 ne 20.\n	Registration deadline: June 19.\n\n\nSign up for our newsletter!\n
 \n\nPollinator Week was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership
 \, and fourteen years ago the U.S. Senate’s unanimous approval and designa
 tion of a week in June as “National Pollinator Week” marked a necessary st
 ep toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations.
 \n\nPollinator Week has now grown into an international celebration\, prom
 oting the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees\, birds\, butterfli
 es\, bats\, beetles\, moths\, wasps\, and flies.\n\n\nThe Sonia Bujold Ini
 tiative  is an outreach initiative established in 2021 by Ms. Sonia Bujold
 \, a recent retiree from the ɬ�﷬ Department of Biology\, to “reach out”
  and break the isolation that students\, individuals living alone\, and fa
 milies experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Initiative offers eng
 aging and educational activities on the fascinating world of biology throu
 gh a series of free online self-paced activity booklets for children and a
 dults.  \n\nThe ɬ�﷬ Chapter of Let's Talk Science is a volunteer-based 
 group of graduate and undergraduate students from a wide range of facultie
 s at ɬ�﷬. Our volunteers deliver hands-on classroom presenta
 tions\, host public STEM events\, mentor for and evaluate projects at regi
 onal science fairs\, and provide STEM outreach to a range of urban and ind
 igenous schools!\n
