Since February, graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, staff, and faculty interested in climate change from across the university have gathered monthly for pizza and drinks. These “Third Thursday” happy hours, sponsored by the University of Washington Program on Climate Change (PCC), were the vision of members of the PCC’s Graduate Student Steering Committee (P-GraSC). “When asking ourselves what our role as P-GraSC should be within PCC, it became clear to our members that what we really need to be focusing on right now is building community within the College of the Environment and beyond for folks who are interested in furthering our understanding of climate change impacts and solutions,” says P-GraSC member Reese Barrett (School of Oceanography).
