The University of Guam\u2019s College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CNAS) program hosted a Community Brainstorming and Information Session on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at the Calvo Field House.\u00a0 The purpose of this session was to receive input from the community on what the organizations within CNAS need to look into and put onto what\u2019s called a \u201cplan of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year we do a plan of work, and we say \u2018This is what they said and this is what we\u2019re going to do\u2019\u201d said Jim Hollyer, associate dean of CNAS and associate director of UOG\u2019s Extension and Outreach Program.<\/p>\n

Once the \u201cplan of work\u201d is completed and sent to the CNAS funding agencies, each program will select which issues will be handled by which section including some of Guam\u2019s agencies (Public Health etc.).<\/p>\n

According to Hollyer, once they get the information, they send it out for review.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce it comes back approved, we\u2019re going to send it back out because this work is not just our work, it\u2019s the communities work,\u201d Hollyer said.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, and the USDA groups that are here, it\u2019s our work, meaning all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The community\u00a0was asked to participate in this brainstorming event, however, most participants comprised of organizations within Guam\u2019s agriculture department and health department as well along with other agencies dealing with health and wellness.<\/p>\n

The event was split into two sessions throughout the day: a morning session and an afternoon session.\u00a0 Each brainstorm had four categories:\u00a0 Agriculture and Gardening; Nutrition, Health and Food;\u00a0 Families, Youth, and Communities and Natural Resource Quality and Use.<\/p>\n

This community outreach session was the first one held in fifteen years.\u00a0 However, Hollyer said that CNAS is comfortable with three to five years at this point.<\/p>\n

Due to so many things needed be outreached, the program has noticed and is working to get this sort of session to be more regulated to engage the community further.<\/p>\n

If you were unable to make it to the community brainstorming session with the CNAS program, there are still ways\u00a0to get involved and help make a difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so much feedback that we need people to say \u2018hey, well take this thing on,\u2019\u201d Hollyer said.\u00a0 \u201cSo that\u2019s the direction we\u2019re going in, is getting the community involved as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
