Two college professors from the Lehigh Valley will have an opportunity to witness history, and bring back some of that history to their students, when they attend the United Nations climate conference in Scotland.

“I can’t see anything more important than going there and bringing this information back,” said Anita Forrester, a Northampton County College associate professor of geography. “How can I teach my students and not invest in their future by making sure climate change is important?”
