Confront Perspectives: Climate Anxiety, Resilience and Action @ College Hall 100
Sep 3 @ 11:15 am – 12:15 pm

Climate change is more than a scientific issue — it also shapes how we think, feel and imagine the future. Join an interdisciplinary panel of experts for a discussion from 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3 in College Hall 100 or this Zoom link.

Panelists include Dr. Marian Moore, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Joe Duda, Instructor of Philosophy, Lydia Ann Ghuneim, Instructor of Biology, and Vickie Heck, Director of Counseling Services. They’ll explore the emotional, ethical, social and environmental dimensions of climate change. Together, we’ll discuss how people respond to uncertainty, why hope and resilience matter and what meaningful action can look like in our communities. Whether you’re passionate about environmental issues or simply curious about the conversation, this engaging discussion offers new perspectives and practical insights for everyone.

This event is part of the 2026–2027 BIG Read. Special bookmarks will also be on sale for $15, with every purchase including a copy of this year’s book, “A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet” by Sarah Jaquette Ray.
