The purpose of the Salata Student Ambassador Program is to build a vibrant, student-led, interdisciplinary climate community across Harvard’s many schools. Ambassadors serve as connectors—engaging in peer-to-peer outreach, engaging with students, faculty, and staff involved in climate and sustainability work on campus, and contributing to the advancement of the Salata Institute’s mission.

The Salata Institute and the Harvard Alumni Association present Harvard Voices on Climate Change, a virtual series featuring Harvard faculty and fellows working on different dimensions of the climate challenge. This session features David Brooks, Haley Family Professor of Computer Science, and Gage Hills, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, both from the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. As the demand for computational power grows, so does its environmental footprint. Professors Brooks and Hills will explore how advancements in computing can contribute to a more sustainable future. Join us to hear about emerging technologies, energy-efficient designs, and the role of interdisciplinary innovation in addressing climate challenges.
