Now in its third year, the Climate Teach-In concept was introduced to USF by Honors faculty member Dr. Andrew Hargrove, who serves as the USF director of the initiative.鈥

鈥淥ne thing that鈥檚 really important that we鈥檙e trying to emphasize with the Climate Teach-In is that it takes everybody to solve a global problem, and that this isn鈥檛 just the responsibility of environmental scientists, legislators or people who own major corporations. This is about everybody. So whatever group or student organization you鈥檙e a part of, there is a way where your expertise or your interest can contribute to building a more sustainable future,鈥 said Hargrove.
