The second webinar in NERCRD’s 2025 series will be presented by Dr. Amanda Missimer and Vanessa Venturini (University of Rhode Island), who will share about the Food Recovery for Rhode Island program, a Cooperative Extension community development train-the-trainer program that simultaneously addresses food waste, food insecurity, and climate change.

The Climate Adaptation Intern Program: Bolstering Adaptive Capacity in Utah and Training a Climate-Ready Workforce Through Undergraduate Engagement

Join the National Extension Climate Initiative (NECI) for a Professional Development meeting featuring Scott Hotaling, Assistant Professor in the Department of Watershed Sciences at Utah State University, who will be presenting on the Climate Adaption Intern Program (CAIP). The 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 thus far, and why the team thinks the program is well-poised to be replicated in other universities/states.
