Focus the Nation was a great success and I am proud to have been able to participate and present at the University of Kentucky about AASHE and the Presidents Climate Commitment. 

In my pre-FTN post two weeks ago I asked for any campuses that were especially excited about events and activities they had planned to submit photos/videos or any other material that was generated as a result of the event.

Clemson University shared two fantastic videos getting Focus the Nation endorsements from both sides of the political aisle, from Republican Congressman Bob Inglis below,

and Presidential hopeful Barack Obama:

The press was also out in full force and stories ran in many of the major news outlets including, Time Magazine, Newsweek, The New York Times, NPR, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Business Week, Forbes, The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, CBS News, MS NBC and many more national print, radio and TV outlets.
