FOCUS THE NATION

CAL POLY INSTITUTIONAL ENDORSEMENT

Global warming poses a serious threat to people and natural systems across the planet. Public and private policy decisions about global warming this decade will have impacts lasting for generations. To focus the nation's attention on this crucial issue, Cal Poly, in conjunction with colleges, universities, and high schools across the country, will organize a symposium about "Global Warming Solutions for America" on January 31 2008. On that day, faculty and students are strongly encouraged to participate in on-campus programs about climate change and to engage in discussions. The symposium program committee has offered to work with interested faculty, help to develop materials for their classes, and insure that diverse disciplines and views are represented in symposium panels and workshops.
