The SOCAN course formerly known and Master Climate Protector, will run for the second year as an SOU course in the Environmental Science, Policy and Sustainability department where students can take the course to earn three credits, and community members can take it to learn more about climate science.

The new course, taught last year as a Special Studies ES199 course, will again be offered during Spring term 2025. The course is designed for individuals who would like to learn more about the science of climate change and its implications at the global, national and local level as well as actions to address the problem.
