Focus the Nation
On January 30 & 31, the University of Kansas participated in
Focus the Nation, a national campaign to raise awareness about global climate change. Through our
teach-in and
panel discussion, we started the conversation about global climate change solutions. However, these events were just the beginning. We invite you to learn more about this issue and continue the discussion online and at upcoming events and activities.
