Update from the Chair: President Lawrence Bacow
As signatories to the Talloires Declaration, we share the belief that institutions of higher education have a special responsibility to contribute to the public good. As citizens in an increasingly interconnected world, we understand the critical need to promote environmental sustainability. Climate change is an issue of global importance that has particular resonance on college and university campuses. Students are increasingly seeking educational programs—often innovative and interdisciplinary in nature—that will prepare them for careers related to the environment. They are also calling on their own institutions of higher learning to make firm public commitments to combat climate change. As you read the July issue of Talloires Network News, I encourage you to think about how you can promote sustainability on your campus and in the world.

Paula has made significant contributions to the advancement of the Talloires Network over the course of her fellowship, including the launch of the Talloires Network News. Her enthusiasm, intelligence and commitment, along with her humor and grace, will be sorely missed. She will be using her excellent writing skills to pursue a career path in journalism.
