Course Description:
Community Engagement: This course is designed as a Carnegie Service Learning Designation course. Students will bring into practice the theories and ideas they have acquired through previous course lectures and assignments to collaborate with a community partner on a project designed to address a particular community issue. This semester project has two main outcomes: to help the community partner further their mission and to give hands-on experience for students in a local environmental organization or agency. The completion of this co-created project will allow students to reflect on the connections between their course lessons, real-world experience, and community needs.
Intro to Env Sci: This course is a survey of basic chemical, biological, and physical principles of environmental science and their applications to environmental issues. This course is appropriate for students in a wide range of disciplines or programs.
