If you are interested in climate change, you can  stay current on climate change-related events on campus, in the area, news, webinars, and educational and professional opportunities by signing up for the Rutgers Climate Institute mailing list via our website to get our weekly event digest and  follow us on facebook and twitter.  

*****************************

Here are some upcoming events that might interest undergraduates (they should register): FYI Bob Inglis (9/26) is a very interesting guy, he is a very conservative Republican but he changed his views on climate change (in part bc his son told him he could not vote for him bc of his views; and also bc he sat on the committee that funded a lot of climate research so he actually visited w. scientists in the Antarctic)...changing his position  cost him his re-election. He now runs an initiative at George Mason to look at free enterprise approaches to addressing climate change, he won the JFK Profile in Courage Award in 2015.....

Thank you!
