As climate-related disasters grow, institutions are increasingly investing in sustainability programs. Clark University is set to open a new School of Climate, Environment and Society this fall, which aims to address pressing environmental issues through interdisciplinary education. Led by Lou Leonard, the inaugural dean, the school will offer undergraduate and master’s programs aimed at preparing students for careers in climate-related fields. The school embodies Clark's historical commitment to these issues, integrating existing departments like Geography and Sustainability and Social Justice to enhance expertise in combating climate change and alleviating climate anxiety among students.
The school officially launches next fall with new degree programs linked to its formation, showcasing Clark's long-standing commitment to climate action and sustainability.
