Syracuse and ESF students and faculty are planning a campaign to urge the university to cut ties with companies that contribute to climate change.
After environmentalist Bill McKibben spoke at Syracuse University on Oct. 10, a signup sheet circulated among students and faculty members who were interested in accomplishing McKibben's tasks to take action against climate change. Three student groups hosted a meeting today that marked the first step toward achieving these goals.
350.org founder Bill McKibben spoke at Hendricks Chapel Wednesday night about global climate change.
Bill McKibben started his lecture with a joke.
“The Dalai Lama is a hard act to follow,” he said, garnering some laughter from the crowd.
But McKibben was greeted with a sea of audience members who packed into Hendricks Chapel Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. to see him speak as part of the first Syracuse University 2012-13 University Lectures series.
