Focus the Nation

Focus the Nation is a major educational initiative to collaboratively engage in a nationwide, interdisciplinary discussion centered around the theme of "Global Warming Solutions for America." Focus the Nation is coordinating teams of faculty, students and staff at more than a thousand colleges, universities and high schools in the United States. The University of Washington is participating in the national Focus the Nation effort by organizing UW students and faculty, and encouraging participation of local businesses, schools and others from the community.

The project will culminate on January 31, 2008, in the form of a one-day, national symposia held simultaneously on campuses across the country. At the University of Washington, the all-day symposium will be held in the HUB, Student Union with an evening town meeting on political solutions to the climate problem in Kane Hall. All UW and relevant community groups are encouraged and welcomed to participate in the exhibition space, coordinate their event with the UW event, and more.
