Spencer Hayes

Executive Producer, KSU My name is Spencer and I am a junior at Kent State University studying Public Communication Studies, with a minor in Media Advocacy. For Climate 360, I am the Executive Producer for the Kent State team. Over the years, I have learned more and more about climate change, especially the lasting effects it is starting to have on the planet. I recently became an aunt and I think of my nephew, as well as all of the children that one day will have to be the ones forced to deal with irreversible problems of climate change. As a member of this team, I hope to spread awareness about the importance of reversing what we can of climate change.

Josh Archote

Executive Producer, LSU My name is Josh and I’m a journalism junior at Louisiana State University. I'm an editor for the news section of LSU's student-run newspaper, the Reveille. I'm also a part of LSU's BridgeUSA chapter, an organization committed to fostering civil political discourse and debate between students from across the ideological spectrum on college campuses. I've been reporting on environmental issues since my freshman year of college as a student journalist. Climate change, and humanity's race to avoid its worst impacts, will be a defining story of the 21st century. I want to help people understand how a warmer world will affect them and their children over the next century, as well as how people are trying to solve the crisis.
