Everglades University (EU) is proud to announce its partnership with the Guy Harvey Foundation (GHF), a collaboration dedicated to promoting sustainability and environmental conservation through education. This partnership aligns with EU’s commitment to fostering awareness and action in marine conservation and sustainability.
A highlight of this partnership is the speaker series designed for EU students. This five-part series will feature recorded presentations from leading figures in the GHF, including world-renowned marine conservationist Guy Harvey, GHF CEO Jessica Harvey, and esteemed experts Steve Roden, Greg Jacoski, and Tonya Shearer. Each session will explore critical aspects of sustainability, ranging from research, conservation, and legislation to conservation entrepreneurship and ocean stewardship, and will include a live Q&A session via Teams.
Everglades University President and CEO, Kristi Mollis, recently took the stage as a distinguished panel speaker at the Conservation Summit. Addressing over 250 educators, she emphasized the importance of environmental stewardship in education. The summit featured notable conservation leaders, including Jessica Harvey, Chief Zoological Officer Chris Dold of United Parks & Resorts (SeaWorld, Busch Gardens & Discovery Cove), and Candice Wade, Director of Suncoast Youth Conservation Center.
Everglades University and the Guy Harvey Foundation are also developing an educational video series aimed at middle and secondary school students. These short videos will introduce young learners to careers in coastal and marine management, inspiring the next generation of marine scientists and conservationists.
Furthermore, EU students will have access to high-quality GHF content, including images, videos, and scientific publications. These materials will be integrated into the university’s marine resources and sustainability curriculum, enriching students’ learning experiences with research-backed insights.
Together, Everglades University and the Guy Harvey Foundation are shaping a future where education and conservation go hand in hand, empowering students and educators to make a lasting impact on our planet.
