Opportunities for UCR Students
There are many opportunities for students at UCR to learn about climate change and to get involved in climate change education and outreach in the community. The UCR Earth Sciences department offers a lower division course on Global Climate Change that introduces students climate science and teaches them the valuable skill of articulating what they learn to friends, family and their communities. Students with some background in climate science can participate in our Science Mentors program, which pairs UCR undergraduate and graduate students with local high school students to design and execute science fair projects. Finally, advanced students can participate as presentors in the Geoscience Education Outreach Program, through which UCR students visit local elementary school classrooms to teach kids about climate change and other geoscience topics.
