This past week has been crazy! Last thrusday was Focus the Nation, a student led initiative to create action around the issue of global warming. The day was filled with teachins, panel discussions, and speakers. Each teach-in included three professors who each spoke about global warming from the perspective within their field. For example, the biology professor spoke about evolution in global warming, a psychology professor spoke about people cognitive reasoning in how they act towards the environment. There was two panel discussions. One with alumni from Augsburg who spoke about their work in the environmental advocacy groups and corporations. The second panel discussion included many politicians from around the cities. Mark Richie came, and Cam Gordon, our city council rep. It was a great discussion- a good way to wrap up the day!
