Topic

Last November, six Michigan Tech students and three alumni helped lead events and a press conference at the 26th United Nations COP26 event in Glasgow, Scotland. The group was accompanied by environmental chemist Dr. Sarah A. Green, whose interests include all aspects of environmental chemistry, from molecular analytical methods to global climate change. The group's effort was part of the Youth Environmental Alliance in Higher Education (YEAH), a multidisciplinary research and education network involving 10 universities. Formed in 2019 with support from the National Science Foundation,YEAH prepares students to engage on climate-related issues across disciplines and cultures—and to be part of the climate solution as scientists and emerging leaders. During Husky Bites we'll hear about their experiences at COP26—and what comes next.

Join us early at 5:45 p.m. for conversation and a weather update.
