Climate Across the Curriculum

Climate Across the Curriculum (CAC) is a two-day workshop to learn, brainstorm, and practice in a cross-disciplinary context about major climate change topics. During the workshop participants share ideas and opportunities to integrate climate research into the university’s diverse curriculum, from qualitative to quantitative methods, from short in-class exercises to semester-long projects, including peer experts from the humanities, sciences, and social sciences representing Arts & Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Environmental Design, and CMCI.
