SES students learn about climate change in Bangladesh
School of Environmental Studies seniors Caitlyn Keo and Leah Norman spent this past holiday season learning about climate change, but it wasn’t the unusually warm Minnesota winter they were studying. Keo and Norman were two of 30 students in the nation selected to be part of the inaugural American Youth Leadership Program with Bangladesh. The two left Minnesota Dec. 17 and spent the next month traveling through Bangladesh, talking about the impacts of climate change with a variety of people ranging from government officials to residents of the remote villages that they visited along the way.
