Plans are coming together for the big NOVA Climate Change Teach-In, scheduled for the week after next. Each of the six different campuses of Northern Virginia Community College are participating in one form or another. Starting on Wednesday night (Jan. 30), there are opportunities to learn about climate change and its implications for our society. Webcasts, lectures, and in-class teach-ins on Thursday the 31st will lead up to the biggest event, held at my own Annandale campus. This will take the form of a series of short lectures and a panel discussion from 12pm to 3pm on Friday, February 1. Plus we're going to serve cookies! Under the leadership of the College-wide Green Committee, on which I serve, NOVA's events are part of a larger nation-wide teach-in involving over 1400 schools.

More information about the multiple events can be found at the Green Committee's website.

If you're in the DC Metro area, you are invited to attend any of these events. They are free and open to the public. Also, for the Manassas lectures and the big Annandale event, surface parking regulations will be waived. There's no excuse not to attend. Of course, if you're one of my students, then I expect to see you there!
