Each year, the University of Iowa’s International Programs hosts teachers from around the state for a program focused on what Iowans need to know about the rest of the world.
This year, the topic is global climate change and its political implications, said Buffy Quintero, International Programs Outreach Coordinator, who is helping organize this year’s event.
“The purpose is to give teachers the most current and up-to-date information on global climate change and to share our expertise,” Quintero said. “It is one of the most critical issues facing the next generation and our generation.”
More than 20 teachers from around Iowa will attend UI’s International Programs Summer Institute for Teachers. The program runs from Monday through the week.
The programming is primarily for the teachers attending the institute, but two lectures will be open to anyone.
