More Ways to Participate
Institutions are encouraged to participate in the keynote broadcast as a way to jumpstart regional conversations. We want to hear from campuses across the country, and gather input from students, faculty, and staff on the best practices and remaining challenges for providing students with the skills and experiences they need. Host a conversation on campus, gather for a virtual conversation with campuses in your region, or tune-in to one of the regional convesations organized in your area. Appoint a student liaison to take notes - your conversations will be turned into a national guiding document on “Best Practices for Preparing Students for a Changing Climate.”
