Virgil Masayesva Environmental Learning Center

March, 2006:
Friends and colleagues of ITEP's co-founder and former director, Virgil Masayesva, gathered in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 22 to pay tribute to Virgil's legacy by renaming a significant tribal resource at the Tribal Air Monitoring Support (TAMS) Center in his honor. The TAMS Learning Center will now be known as the Virgil Masayesva Environmental Learning Center. Virgil served as ITEP's director from its inception in 1992 until his passing in 2005. He was a graduate of the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, and was a tireless advocate for the tribes and their efforts to develop sovereign environmental programs.

Through the help of the US EPA, the TAMS Center has been able to construct a state-of-the-art Learning Center, where classroom instruction for all TAMS Courses is conducted. The room has been set up with computer stations for each individual, which can be activated with Internet access. There is a digital projector and an instructor work-station that includes a computer and a SmartBoard (a veritable digital whiteboard). The room has been appropriately decorated with Native American art from a variety of regions. This room is available for use by other tribal or EPA groups.
