students focus on future


Welcome Week at UCSD is in full swing. Last night internet pioneer Larry Smarr gave the key note speech at the Welcome Week Convocation. His message -- climate change is the biggest problem facing our society and it’s up to individuals to make a difference. “I wanted to make sure that the students knew from the first day they got here that they can be a part of finding the solution.”

Smarr said UCSD’s award winning student video, “A Living Laboratory For Real-World Solutions” changed his life and he encouraged new students to watch the film.

"After watching the film, I doubled my commitment to living more sustainably." For the full text of Smarr's speech click here.
