We would like to say a big “Thank you” to the Geography and Environmental Science Club (GESC), multiple faculty members from departments across campus, and Murphy Library for coming together to create an amazing experience at “Climate and Coffee” last week. Not only did John Kelly and Rupsa Bhowmick from our department participate, but we want to extend special thanks to Joe Spurlock (Education), Dean Vesperman (History), Jeremy Arney (Political Science), Alysa Remsburg (Sustainability and Environmental Studies), Katy Kortenkamp (Psychology) and Taylor Hamblin (History). An impressive example of cooperation across campus towards a common goal.
