For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

The CLC Connects Podcast is on a short break while we work behind the scenes to bring you a new and improved listening experience, but we also know its important to fill that space you reserve time to listen to every other Tuesday. In this spirit we’re bringing back some of our most popular episodes from our first two seasons with some added content. You can think of this as season 2.5. Today we’re starting the episode off with a condensed version of the interview I did with Melanie Bromberek, CLC’s horticulture coordinator. Melanie gave us her expert fall gardening advice. A year later, I can vouch for her- my garden has looked better than ever this season. Maybe you’re not interested in gardening, but your kids are. Earlier this summer Eliza Fournier, CLC’s Urban Farm director, took content producer Jake Patterson and writer Austin Weber out on a tour of the Green Youth Farm located in the Greenbelt Forest Preserve in North Chicago.

The Importance of Immunizations: Protecting Yourself from Preventable Diseases with Dr. Derek Leiter 22:14

22:14

Vaccines have played a critical role in public health throughout history, from ancient civilizations' use of variolation to modern vaccination. The English physician, Edward Jenner, discovered modern vaccination in the late 18th century by injecting cowpox into a young boy, which led to immunity against smallpox. Vaccines were later developed against other diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis, as well as viral diseases chicken pox and shingles. The new shingles vaccine, called Shingrix was approved around 2017 and is recommended for individuals over 50 years old. The vaccine boosts the immune response to the virus, reducing the risk and severity of shingles symptoms.…

February 28, 2023: Spring break is right around the corner, a nice time away from classes that is often reserved for travel. While some of us have trips lined up, some of us are staying home. It’s important to know that whatever you do this year, you can have rewarding international experiences that have the potential to change your life. We have a few ideas for how you can gain new global perspectives no matter what you choose to do this year. Attend cultural events locally. Here in Lake County, we’re lucky to be sandwiched between two major cities that offer events from a variety of cultures that showcase music, dance, food, and other traditions from all over the world. Head north to Milwaukee or jump on the Metra and head south to Chicago and check out their Saint Patrick Day parades. Or stick around here and check out Switchback on March 19 at the James Lumber Center. This personable, talented duo will be playing their brand of eclectic Celtic and Americana. Switchback captures the Irish of today with an exciting mix of mandolin, guitar, bass and unique harmonies. Bonus: CLC students get discounted admission to most JLC events. Watch international movies and TV shows, read international literature or follow social media accounts based outside of the US. Experiencing content from different countries can expose you to different cultures and perspectives. You can also watch foreign-language films with English subtitles to improve your language skills. Make friends with an international student and learn more about their culture by becoming a Friendship Family. A Friendship Family is a local community member or family who is interested in showing hospitality to international students by inviting them into the daily rhythms of their lives (i.e. children’s sporting events, family outings, game nights, community events, holiday meals, etc.). Friendship families and their student(s) can decide how frequently to meet, typically 1-2 times a month during the academic term. Students will not live with the friendship family. Everlasting friendships and connections are bound to happen. Learn more abot becoming a Friendship Family. https://www.clcillinois.edu/department-of-global-engagement/friendship-families-volunteer-program Study Abroad! They say that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer and studying abroad with CLC really proves it. Every year we offer lots of options for studying abroad and community travel, and guess what- they cost a lot less than you might think because study abroad courses are financial aid and scholarship eligible. This year, every person who signed up for a study abroad trip received some funding through scholarships.
