Climate Week 2008 is an opportunity to engage environmental stewardship, faith and lifestyle choices affecting climate and other environmental issues.
Scheduled for January 28-February 1, ACU's Climate Week joins similar conversations among over 1 million students across the United States in the Focus the Nation initiative.
As a grassroots effort, students, faculty, staff and administrators are facilitating a variety of events. We are thankful to local and national partners who are partnering with us as well.
