Webinar Description

The Climate Adaption Intern Program (CAIP) is a semester-long, cohort-style Extension program at Utah State University where undergraduates are work with experts to develop resources (e.g., fact sheets) that correspond to climate needs in Utah and the surrounding region. In this talk, Scott will describe CAIP, the outcomes and impacts from the program's first ~1.5 years of activity, and why they think the program is well-poised to be replicated in other universities/states.
