USF Climate Teach-In
What is the Climate Teach-In?
A teach-in is an informal, educational event that discusses a specific issue or cause, organized to raise awareness or prompt action on social, political, or environmental topics. Unlike traditional lectures, teach-ins are interactive and community-oriented, encouraging open discussion and participation from attendees.
The 5th Annual USF Climate Teach-In is a week-long series of events held from March 23 to 30, 2026 that is meant to inspire and involve students in a conversation about climate solutions. The teach-In is part of , a global initiative from the graduate program in sustainability at Bard College in New York.
How it Works
The USF Climate Teach-In is organized by the Climate Teach-In student organization in collaboration with student groups, faculty, and community partners across all three USF campuses. Designed and led by students, the student organization provides a platform for passionate peers to come together and drive meaningful social change.
This year, the Climate Teach-In Executive Board has been working hard to make the event bigger and better than ever! They can鈥檛 wait for you to be part of USF鈥檚 largest environmental event.
