UAS Seminar on Climate Advocacy and Activism, June 9-15

Join UAS professor Kevin Maier in a week‐long, action‐oriented conversation aimed at bringing concerned citizens and students together to explore potential solutions to the pressing environmental problem of climate change. The class will read prominent case studies and reports on climate change, but the primary goal will be to explore creative ways to facilitate social change for our community, region, and, ultimately, our planet.

Thanks to a grant from the International Polar Year, UAS is pleased to offer this 1-credit course free of charge. For more information on the course and how to enroll, see the Flyer.

Hurry, the class is filling up quickly!
