With 1,100 colleges and universities nationwide, Focus the Nation will be the largest teach-in ever held in American history. "A teach-in is a day when an entire school turns its attention to a single issue — when faculty, students and staff put aside business as usual, and focus the full weight of campus engagement on one topic." Focus the Nation will bring awareness to the problems of global warming and will address practical solutions from all angles for students to implement in their own lives and on-campus.
