Course Description:
Seminar participants will learn to identify patterns and processes of greening in institutions of higher education while developing research, writing, and presentation skills. At the start of the semester we will analyze the foundations of environmental sustainability and each student will define their own notions of appropriate commitments based on the roles, responsibilities, and missions of colleges and universities. Students will work in groups to research and analyze on-campus efforts involving transportation and energy.
