This spring, we invite you to \"Make Climate a Class\" for just one day, as part of the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice<\/a> on or around March 29th, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can you do it? Yes, you can! Here's what we mean: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devote a short portion of your regular class time to a discussion of how your field contributes to the understanding of climate change, or climate solutions, or climate justice. Bring it into the classroom. If even a few Xavier faculty do this, we will engage hundreds of students in a positive focus on the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what we suggest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell students you are taking a short diversion into climate. Tell them it's as a part of the Worldwide Teach-in. For 15 minutes, introduce an example of how your discipline is thinking about climate change. Then have a 15-minute presentation from an alumnus or colleague who is actually working on climate change. Thirty minutes, DONE.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change touches every field \u2014 from artists to entrepreneurs, from philosophers to scientists. Our courses can inspire students to see how they can be leaders in the critical work ahead to stabilize the climate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
