New Program Seeks 校友 to Help Recruit Future Red Foxes
呼吁所有校友! New Ambassador Program is looking for alumni worldwide to participate in student recruitment and engagement, including at local events in your hometown.
Student-athletes from the swim, 水球, and crew teams all got out in the water at Quiet Cove Riverfront Park, 就在校园北面, to swim and row alongside Pugh. A large crowd gathered to cheer on Pugh and the Red Foxes as they made their way to the Marist riverfront dock.
Many of the student-athletes expressed their enthusiasm about joining Pugh and Weinman总统 on the water.
It’s not every day that a college president and three different sports teams get to jump into their local river with a famous swimmer and advocate. Marist’s engagement in Pugh’s Hudson swim showcases the College’s commitment to environmental sustainability as well as its dedication to uplifting local and global communities.
Weinman总统, 铁人三项运动员, 和他的妻子贝丝, 游泳好手, were excited to join the student-athletes to support Pugh’s mission and highlight the importance of the Hudson River to the College and surrounding community.
“Not only did I have to keep up with Lewis, and our Division I student-athletes in the Hudson, but I had to try to keep up with my wife Beth, 谁是游泳健将,温曼总统说. “The Hudson River means so much to us. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it is a laboratory for our science students, a venue of competition for our crew students, and a very special place for our community.”
不久前, Pugh and the Red Foxes would not have been able to swim in the Hudson due to heavy pollution, but because of decades of cleanup efforts, the dream of a healthier Hudson River has continued to come to fruition.
游泳后, Pugh came back to the Cornell Boathouse on campus for an open forum event to speak with students, members of the local government, 和圣母社区.
温曼总统和 丹•沙普利, the Senior Director of Advocacy, Policy, and Planning for 护河者 joined Pugh to discuss the revitalization of the Hudson River and encourage continued efforts for the Hudson and rivers and oceans around the world.
They discussed a range of environmental topics, 包括气候变化, 环境恶化, 水污染, access to fresh and potable water, threatened biodiversity and survival of the animal kingdom, lessons from indigenous cultures, and the interconnected health of rivers and oceans.
The push to protect rivers, oceans, and the planet doesn’t stop here. 了解更多有关 刘易斯·皮尤基金会 and stay updated by following his Hudson Swim on Instagram.
