On October 26, six students from The College of New Rochelle joined students from Bard and Vassar as part of a three-college Green Torch Relay team that walked, ran and biked to Albany for Focus The Nation’s Green Torch Relay.

On January 31, 2008, CNR will join the more than 1,000 universities and colleges from all 50 states participating in Focus The Nation, an unprecedented educational initiative  on global warming solutions for America. As the largest teach-in in U.S. history, Focus The Nation is preparing hundreds of thousands of students to become leaders in the largest civilizational challenge any generation has faced.

The Green Torch Relay team delivered invitations to New York’s elected leaders in Albany asking them to participate in Focus The Nation’s discussion on global warming solutions at their colleges. The CNR invitation included approximately 500 signatures.

In Albany, the students presented the invitation to government representatives, including Paul Beyer, Special Assistant for the Environment, who accepted the invitation to CNR’s conference on behalf of Governor Eliot Spitzer.
