Small Business Saturday is here in Louisville! Do502 has an excellent list of local businesses to check out in town for your locally-sourced shopping needs. They remind us, "For every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $73 remains in the local economy..." compared to the same $100 spent non-locally keeps only $43 in the local economy.

November 26th is Small Business Saturday, a day for supporting local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. Remember, for every $100 spent at a locally-owned business, $73 remains in the local economy

Only 27 hours left to support our program as part of ! Donate to University of Louisville Geographic and Environmental Sciences via: https://louisville.scalefunder.com/amb/GEOG-ENVS and help us support and celebrate exceptional students like Liz Winlock:

"I am a first-generation college graduate that completed a Bachelor of Science in Geography at The University of Louisville in 2008. While at UofL I interned with Olmsted Parks Conservancy (OPC), a non-profit organization that advocates, fundraises, and manages projects in parks in Louisville designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Together these two opportunities helped me to begin understanding how what I learned could be applied in the community. After graduation from The University of Louisville, I went on to earn a Master of Public Affairs and Master of Science in Environmental Science from Indiana University in Bloomington. When I left there, I worked for non-profits in Lexington, KY and Clarksville, IN. Along the way I crammed in a lot of life: study abroad in Kenya, a battle with leukemia, learning how to steward a small goat farm in Indiana, and having a son. Last year, I was able to come back to Olmsted Parks as a project manager. Here I get to apply what I've learned to new challenges in managing urban natural spaces for today and tomorrow.
For one more awesome turn, now I'm humbled and excited that I get to work at UL in the very department that I learned so much from, and that I get to keep exploring how to tie science, data, technology, and experience together to manage urban parks.
It's been a wild ride so far, and I'm so grateful for all that I learned and the connections that I made along the way. The University of Louisville continues to open new doors and I'm proud to be an alumni."
