Dorothy Meaney, Director of Tisch Library, and Jennifer Ferguson, Head of User Experience & Student Success, supported national research on how the flow of information in the modern world impacts college student’s attitudes towards climate change.
Among the research findings, students were more likely to find discussions about climate change depressing, but were less likely to avoid them and believed in the power of individual action. As one student said, “It’s very easy to feel hopeless about a situation you don’t directly have control over, but progress always starts from the bottom.”
