The SPIKE Center Launches Inaugural Cohort of SPIKE Student Scholars Toby Murdock Thu, 12 Mar 2026 - 09:12

The first inaugural cohort of SPIKE Student Scholars is up and running. Eleven students chosen from nearly one hundred applicants represent every college across the ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� campus. There is range from an undergraduate freshman in Education to a graduate PhD student in Chemistry working together to be change agents advancing sustainability education on the ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� campus and beyond. This representative group of CU students form an innovative community of practice and engage in activities that co-create, promote, and advance sustainability education initiatives at CU through the SPIKE Center. In the spirit of “nothing about us without us,” these students participate in designing and defining the roles, responsibilities, duties, and opportunities of and for SPIKE student engagement. They also contribute to establishing criteria and protocols for support and funding by the SPIKE Center for proposed initiatives and projects. They plan events for a wide variety of students to co-imagine and contribute their ideas and priorities for student engagement within the SPIKE Center. In addition, SPIKE scholars participate in outreach to disseminate their own sustainability work and the work of the SPIKE Center within our community, throughout the state, nationally, and internationally. We are grateful for the good-natured enthusiasm of this first cohort as we build the bridge as we cross it together. Our first student-created event will be on April 6, 2026, 5-6PM at CASE E390 where we will craft pencil bags out of repurposed materials while discussing effective approaches and techniques for providing testimony for environmental policy deliberations, all with great snacks, of course! Please direct any interested students to check us out at the Expo Hall from 4-6PM April 15^th at the CU Sustainability Summit or to reach out directly to the Associate Faculty Director for Student Engagement, Beth Osnes-Stoedefalke at beth.osnes@colorado.edu.

The SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education and the Nature, Environment, Science & Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts will offer SPIKE-NEST Graduate Fellowships in 2026 Toby Murdock Thu, 5 Mar 2026 - 14:43

The Nature, Environment, Science & Technology (NEST) Studio for the Arts at the University of Colorado Boulder (��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��) has partnered with the SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education (SPIKE Center) to support both undergraduate and graduate students to work on collaborative, sustainability-focused projects bridging the arts and sciences.

This project seeks to develop collaborative and interdisciplinary explorations of sustainability. Each awarded group will consist of cross-disciplinary small teams of graduate student collaborators that welcome and mentor an undergraduate student who will work on a media project alongside the team, resulting in a broadly-defined media project for public exhibition on campus focusing on sustainability. Example projects may include: public installations, performances, time-based or moving-image based works, sonic or audio compositions, or any other arts forms that would be within practice-based research.

Since 2017, NEST has supported over 80 graduate students, facilitating art-science exhibitions across the state, featuring new research that has manifested in film, sculpture, music, painting, video, virtual reality, and all manner of live performance, including poetry, theater, and dance. Projects have been presented at scientific conferences, in science journals, and yielded quantitative data in multiple dissertations. In 2026, NEST joins forces with SPIKE to engage more students and to think creatively about sustainability in cross-disciplinary work at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��.

The SPIKE Center formed in Fall 2025 to assist in the implementation of Chancellor Schwartz’s vision for sustainability at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� in the sphere of education. The SPIKE Center works to facilitate a shared future of sustainability education at the campus and support its realization.

“Graduate students never fail to create imaginative new methods for approaching society’s biggest problems,” said Erin Espelie, co-Founder of the NEST Studio for the Arts. “This partnership with the SPIKE Center will empower more students to explore the intersection of the arts and sustainability sciences, creating new ways to work across disciplines.”

“At the SPIKE Center we seek to support sustainability education pursuits from all academic approaches,” said Max Boykoff, Faculty Executive Director of the SPIKE Center. “Artistic performance and exhibitions play a crucial role in shaping the popular consciousness around sustainability, and we are delighted to partner with the NEST Studio on this project.”

“The SPIKE-NEST partnership reflects ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� belief that powerful sustainability solutions emerge when artists and scientists create together,” noted ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock. “By supporting these summer fellows, we are investing in bold, cross-disciplinary thinking that will help shape a more resilient and imaginative future”.

The deadline for NEST-SPIKE summer 2026 proposals is March 23rd, 2026. Send proposals to nest@colorado.edu with the subject line: Summer Fellowship Application.

The Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility (CESR) within the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder has partnered with the SPIKE Center of Sustainability Education (SPIKE Center) to empower future sustainability leaders by funding four additional CESR Sustainability Scholars, contributing to 150% growth of the program for the 2026-2027 cohort.

The CESR Sustainability Scholars program supports Leeds undergraduate and MBA students with membership in a cohort of values-aligned business students, mentorship, and a financial stipend to enable transformational learning opportunities in sustainability and social impact. Thanks to the partnership with the SPIKE Center, these students will also connect with student leaders from across disciplines at CU through the SPIKE Student Emissaries Program.

Carly Simmons (BusAna, SupChnMgmt SRE'27), a 2025–2026 Sustainability Scholar, used her funding to enable her work at the Sunflower Seeds for Ukraine initiative, where she is helping convert solar panels into phone chargers and providing warm clothing for Ukrainian communities.

“Being part of the Sustainability Scholars cohort connected me with people who are values-driven and excited to think bigger,” Simmons said. “The networking alone has opened so many doors.”

The SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education is newly founded in Fall 2025 and seeks to accelerate the development of sustainability education at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��. It does so by working with students and faculty to envision the future of sustainability education on campus, and by supporting key partnerships such as the one with CESR. CESR empowers Leeds students to solve social and environmental challenges.

“The vision of the SPIKE Center is to empower sustainability across all academic disciplines,” said Max Boykoff, Faculty Executive Director of the SPIKE Center. “The business world is a critical driver of progress in sustainability, and so we are delighted to be partnering with CESR on this student-centered program.”

“Sustainability is a crucial challenge for businesses in the 21st century,” said CESR’s program manager, Katherine Ratledge. “Thus, we are excited to be partnering with the SPIKE Center to provide more transformative educational opportunities for Leeds students around the intersection of sustainability and business.”

“This CESR and SPIKE collaboration creates a dynamic alliance where sustainability curriculum meets business acumen – turning classroom training into real world solutions.” said Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock.

In 2025—Earth's third warmest year on record—massive fires destroyed entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles, a deadly heatwave killed more than 24,000 in Europe and powerful storms triggered catastrophic flooding in Southeast Asia.

Scientists were quick to highlight the potential links between many of these disasters and a rapidly changing climate. But media coverage of climate change decreased by 14% in 2025 compared to 2024, according to a recent report from ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO).

Max Boykoff

“Over the past three and a half decades, climate change has become a high-stakes, high-profile, and highly-politicized venture involving science, policy, culture, psychology, environment and society,” said Max Boykoff, professor of Environmental Studies and a fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).

Boykoff, who is also the faculty executive director of the SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education, leads MeCCO’s efforts to track media coverage of climate change and understand messaging trends here in the U.S. and across the world. ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Today sat down with him to chat about the shift and the implications.

What is the Media and Climate Change Observatory?

MeCCO is a collaborative project that monitors and assesses climate change and global warming coverage in 131 newspapers, radio and television outlets spanning 59 countries and 14 languages. There is no other open-access resource like it available to researchers and practitioners, interested media outlets and decision-makers across anywhere else in the world.

How do ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� students support MeCCO?

In a new partnership between CIRES and the SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education, MeCCO is expanding student involvement and support at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��. As part of broader MeCCO activities, ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� students also serve as SPIKE Student Emissaries, working with collaborators at universities, institutes and organizations worldwide. Together, the 30-member team monitors climate-related news and produces monthly and annual summaries and explainers. The partnership expands MeCCO’s reach while building competence and confidence among participating researchers and students.

How does your team track changes in media coverage about climate change?

In partnership with the University Libraries, MeCCO team members produce open access datasets each month at the global level for newspaper and radio coverage. The team also evaluates newspaper coverage in seven regions—Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Oceania—as well as at the country level in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We use existing news archives to assemble data, making sure we have broad geographic coverage, high circulation and reliable access to material.

What contributed to the decline in coverage in 2025?

Ongoing political economic headwinds, and newsroom consolidation and reductions have contributed to this diminished coverage. Moreover, there is finite news space for competing stories, with the Trump administration flooding the public sphere with news stories across several domains.

News editors and reporters may also sense that their readers are getting tired of reading and hearing about climate change when making decisions about what stories to cover. Furthermore, journalists may be hesitant to connect the dots between ecological and meteorological events like wildfires, and a changing climate due to the ongoing politicization of climate science, despite the fact that those links are clear within relevant expert scientific communities.

How does this decline impact people’s awareness and understanding of climate change science?

People typically do not start their day with a cup of coffee and the latest peer-reviewed journal article. Instead, they turn to media—television, newspapers, radio, social media—to understand how science and policies could impact their everyday lives. This reality drives MeCCO’s work to monitor media coverage of climate change around the world and investigate how climate change coverage affects media consumers. When the media fail to cover these pressing climate issues abundantly and accurately, people may not recognize how climate change shapes their daily lives, livelihoods and challenges.

What are other ways scientists can reach people who might only hear about climate change issues from the news?

There are many ways scientists can creatively communicate and connect with different sectors of society. They can improve education and literacy, mobilize more effective advocacy efforts, raise individual-to collective-scale awareness, prompt behavior change and promote cultural change. Through video, theater, dance and writing, scientists can connect new and wider audiences to climate change—tapping into experiential, emotional, visceral and aesthetic ways of learning that go beyond traditional communication.

'Doom and gloom' messaging is prevalent in the media. How do you inspire hope?

There are many alternative pathways to effectively communicate about climate-related issues. In collaboration with ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� students, my colleague, Beth Osnes-Stoedefalke in the Department of Theater, and I have explored avenues like studying fast fashion communication strategies and environmental impacts (an industry that contributes significantly to global warming) and sustainable fashion alternatives.

We also explore how comedy may unexpectedly offer new routes to learning about climate change, overcoming often sober or gloomy scientific assessments through experiential, narrative, emotive and relatable storytelling. Humor can help increase accessibility to the complex and often-distant dimensions of climate change by bringing a long-term set of issues into the immediate social context. While comedy can provide relief amid anxiety-producing scientific results, it also serves to bridge difficult topics and overcome polarized discussions through entertaining and non-threatening ways to recapture a missing middle ground.

These activities then provide space for young people—college-aged students most centrally—to hope and to work toward desirable, sustainable futures.

The SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education partners with the Center for African and African American Studies to establish CAAAS / SPIKE Graduate Fellows Toby Murdock Wed, 25 Feb 2026 - 09:43

The SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education (SPIKE Center) at the University of Colorado Boulder (��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��) has partnered with the Center for African and African American Studies (CAAAS) at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� to support graduate students within CAAAS in their study of sustainability and how it impacts the African and African American communities. This collaboration will support two CAAAS / SPIKE Graduate Fellows for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 academic years.

This partnership is focused upon two areas of top priority for the ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� campus: African and African American communities and sustainability. The CAAAS (often referred to as “the Cause”) was established May 2021 by Dr. Reiland Rabaka with a mission to uphold Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of “the Beloved Community.” In the context of ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��, the CAAAS creates a community of support for CU faculty and students conducting research in African, African American, and African diasporan studies. Within sustainability, these communities face particular challenges that require new scholarship to develop responses and solutions.

The SPIKE Center was formed in fall of 2025 in response to Chancellor Schwartz’s prioritization of sustainability at CU to accelerate sustainability education. A central objective of the SPIKE Center is to support scholarship around communities bearing disproportionate impact from sustainability disruption, and thus the SPIKE Center is grateful for opportunity to partner with the CAAAS on this important initiative.

“The solutions to the challenges we face in sustainability are so often found at the intersection of creativity, inclusion and the diverse perspectives,” said Max Boykoff, Faculty Executive Director of the SPIKE Center. “We appreciate this partnership with CAAAS and opportunities to improve our collective work together centering critical elements of justice and equity.”

“Because the mission of the CAAAS is to foster research in African and African American studies, we see this as an exciting opportunity to explore the specific problems our communities face in sustainability,” said Dr. Reiland Rabaka, the Founder and Director of the CAAAS. “This initiative with the SPIKE Center will empower much needed additional scholarship on this critical issue.”

"At ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� we have a vision of sustainability that is not concentrated in a single school or sector, but one that instead sees sustainability pervading every sector, every academic unit, and, ultimately, every student," said Vice Chancellor for Sustainability Andrew Mayock. "Thus in the spirt of that vision we are so excited to partner with the CAAAS in supporting sustainability research within the African and African American communities."
