<h2>All faculty, staff and students are invited to this webinar on Creating a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) space on Earth and Beyond as part of our "STEAMing Sustainability to make a difference” webinar series.</h2><h3>Look for more sessions with varied topics coming soon...</h3>

<h2>The STEAM and Sustainability Initiative at the Office of the Interim Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost presents the “STEAMing Sustainability to make a difference” Webinar series with visionaries and thought leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Humanities, and Mathematics (STEAM). </h2>

<h2>Dr. Sian Proctor is a geoscientist, explorer, space artist, and astronaut. She was the mission pilot for the SpaceX Inspiration4 all-civilian orbital mission. She is the first African American woman to pilot a spacecraft, the first African American commercial astronaut, and the first African American to paint in space. She is also one of The Explorer’s Club 50: Fifty People Changing the World. Her motto is called Space2inspire where she encourages people to use their unique, one-of-a-kind strengths, and passion to inspire those within their reach and beyond. She believes that we need to actively strive for a J.E.D.I. space: a just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive space as we advance human spaceflight.</h2><h2>She uses her afro-futurism space art to encourage conversations about women of color in the space industry. She believes that when we solve for space, we also solve issues on Earth and she promotes the adoption of space technology to issues such as food waste and climate change.</h2><h2>Dr. Proctor spent over 20 years as a professor teaching geology, sustainability, and planetary science at South Mountain Community College, in Phoenix, Arizona. She is currently the director of the Global Futures Institute for the Maricopa Community College District. Dr. Proctor is an inspirational speaker and I hope you can all join us. </h2>
