USF Climate Teach-In
What is the Climate Teach-In?
A 鈥渢each-in鈥 is an informal, educational event that discusses a specific issue or cause, organized to raise awareness or prompt action on social, political, or environmental topics. Unlike traditional lectures, teach-ins are interactive and community-oriented, encouraging open discussion and participation from attendees.
The 5th Annual USF Climate Teach-In is a week-long series of events held the week of March 23 - 30 that is meant to inspire and involve students in a conversation about climate solutions. The Climate Teach-In at USF is part of the , a global initiative from the graduate program in sustainability at Bard College in New York.

The USF Climate Teach-In is organized by the Climate Teach-In student organization in collaboration with student groups, faculty, and community partners across all three USF campuses.

This year, the Climate Teach-In Executive Board has been working hard to make the event bigger and better than ever! We can鈥檛 wait for you to be part of USF鈥檚 largest environmental event!
