FARMING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE: FILM AND DISCUSSION SERIES
January 18th-February 15th
As Earth’s climate changes farmers will be faced with increasingly unpredictable weather conditions and more frequent extreme weather events. Farmers will need to gather resources, create support networks and develop strategies to manage under new climatic conditions. Regenerative farming practices have the potential to ameliorate environmental impacts and make farming systems more resilient to extreme and variable weather. Regenerative practices also have the potential to sequester carbon for long-term reduction of global warming. It is important for farmers to have a forum where they can learn about climate change and farming practices that will make them more resilient to its effects, and to share their knowledge and resources with other farmers.
Session 1, Jan 18 (on location at NCMC): We will show the film “The Ant and the Grasshopper” at North Central Michigan College to engage participants in the magnitude and the urgency of climate change effects on agriculture. In a discussion following the film we will ask participants to share the relevance of the film to their own experiences and any changes they have already made to adapt to climate change. The film will be open to the public to help build community support for farmers adapting to climate change.
Sessions 2 and 3, Feb 1 & Feb 8 (online): We will discuss readings that inform about the effects of climate change on farming, practices being developed to manage climate change and resources available to help farmers mitigate the risks associated with climate change. The selection of readings will be influenced by group interests and will be adapted to include references participants have found relevant and useful.
Session 4, Feb 15 (Hybrid): Final readings for this session will have been decided by the group in previous sessions, and will emphasize practices and resources participants intend to use. We will discuss follow-up steps we may wish to take to support farmers making changes. We will engage the Small Farm Guild, created by Crosshatch to facilitate farmer-to-farmer communication and resource sharing, to support ongoing discussion and peer support. Register here.

PetS of The Week-Finley and Kismit!
Meet Finley and Kismit!
Kismit arrived here with her brother Finley due to no fault of their own.
Kismit and her brother are pretty small for huskies, but they have big personalities!
Kismit is shy of new people at first but warms up very quickly if you can be calm and patient with her. Once you've won her over, she is as sweet as can be.
Finley seems to like most other dogs and seems to ignore cats. Kismit does seem to be the more dominant of the two. Kismit seems to enjoy the company of other male dogs, but we are unsure of how she would be around cats.
Kismit and Finley are such a duo! They love to play and goof around together.
Consider opening your hearts and giving one (or both) of these beautiful dogs a home

NCMC TO HOST EXHIBITION CELEBRATING WOMEN IN MEDICINE
Rise, Serve, Lead! highlights the achievements of U.S. women physicians
North Central Michigan College will host a traveling exhibition celebrating the contributions and legacy of our nation’s women physicians. The Rise, Serve, Lead! America’s Women Physicians exhibition, a display of six roll-up graphic banners, will be open to the public from January 10 — February 15 in the NCMC Library.
Produced by the National Library of Medicine, Rise, Serve, Lead! and its companion website highlight the lives and achievements of U.S. women physicians who have made a difference through their medical practice and research, their work as activists, their service as administrators, and their mentorship to the next generation of doctors.
“Celebrating women in medicine and science helps break down gender stereotypes in two traditionally male-dominated fields,” said NCMC Librarian Kendra Lake. “We hope that increasing the visibility of successful women in these careers will inspire and motivate others to overcome challenges and pursue their goals.”
Related events include a January 19 Luncheon Lecture featuring Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan’s chief medical executive and a member of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s cabinet. Bagdasarian will provide an update on the state’s most pressing public health issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis, maternal and infant health, vaccine-preventable diseases, and sexually transmitted infections.
The lecture will be held in the NCMC Library Conference Center at 11:30 a.m. A $15 attendance fee includes a buffet lunch. Thirty seats will be reserved for NCMC students to attend free of charge. Registration is required at https://www.ncmclifelonglearning.com/event-5492970.
North Central will also publish a series of social media posts highlighting women faculty, students, and alumni who work in or study medicine or life sciences.
“We hope that showcasing our faculty, students, and alumni will foster a sense of belonging and empowerment on campus,” said NCMC Professor Davina Gutierrez, who teaches human biology. “Additionally, we want to demonstrate that the sciences, health, and medicine are attainable career paths for everyone.”
North Central Michigan College is an open-door community college based in Petoskey with additional offerings in Cheboygan, Gaylord, and online. North Central’s mission is to provide exceptional, accessible, relevant higher education of and for the community. An Achieving the Dream Leader College with a designation of Veteran Friendly Gold by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, North Central is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the Michigan Community College Athletic Association.
