A new Earth conversation is a transformative
climate initiative at Clark University

FOR STUDENTS

As a Clark student, you bring a passion for deep inquiry and thoughtful innovation to engaging the major challenges of our time. Through A new Earth conversation, we offer a space of community, creativity and reflection to fuel our work as we collectively grapple with the climate crisis.
