Communities in Crisis–Student Voices on Climate Change addresses the specific threats of climate change on communities ranging from villages to large megalopolis. The threats encompass heatwaves and droughts, ocean acidification and harmful algal blooms. The project is written and edited by students at Penn State. The goal is to compile the magnitude of the climate change crisis on communities across the globe, as well as the breadth of the issues we face. Beyond looking at the current threats and forecasts, the students consider the solutions for the problems. Communities in Crisis is an ongoing project with new entries added each semester, and, over time it will chronicle the changing threats that climate change poses to populations around the world.

Students survey the legal issues confronted by entrepreneurs and develop the practical skills to effectively and ethically represent them during the start-up phase. Students study how to interview, counsel, plan, draft, and negotiate, by critiquing relevant readings and putting this to use in the context of client interactions and classroom simulations. Students also will draft relevant blog posts, client correspondence and memoranda typical of those that surface in small business and entrepreneur representation.
