Sustainability Colloquium l

Catalog description

This is a student-run, faculty-guided class that is repeated every semester and required of all students in the program. Students must enroll in the colloquium for at least 2 and up to 4 semesters; they are exempted only during a semester when a research project takes them out of residence. In this class, students come together weekly to work on academic and professional development. Faculty, including guest speakers invited by students, will facilitate discussions on particular topics with a focus on helping students link sustainability theory to practice. The colloquium will regularly incorporate sessions on collaboration, conflict management, and public participation, which are important professional skills in this discipline.
