Climate Change Student Interest Group

The Climate Change Student Interest Group was initiated in 2005 with the aim to foster personal, campus, and political responses to climate change. To this end, we seek to increase an awareness of not only what has become a climate crisis but also the ways the in which the observed and anticipated impacts will exacerbate most other environmental problems. We also promote energy efficiency and fuel switching on and off campus. Furthermore, we support policy efforts to mitigate climate change including local, state and federal legislation. In the past, we have sponsored guest speakers on campus, submitted an energy conservation grant proposal to the Green Fund, attended Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative stakeholder meetings and screened a series of films about climate change and energy issues. We welcome all interested students and faculty to contribute to our efforts and invite newcomers to help the SIG develop further.
