You are invited!
Join us as the students from the winter term of Environment 391 present their results from their semester long projects to their sponsors, classmates, and instructors.
This hands-on course uses the U-M campus as a "living-learning laboratory" to actively explore ecological, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability.
Course Description
This interdisciplinary course explores sustainability in higher education generally and at the University of Michigan specifically in a dynamic, interactive way. Drawing upon theory and practice in sustainability, environmental management, organizational change and social advocacy, students conduct a substantial, hands-on group project in conjunction with a university sponsor.
Past projects—available at http://graham.umich.edu/campus-course—have led to the creation of the “How to be a Green Wolverine Guide,” the planting of a campus garden, formation of the UM Sustainability Foods Program, a campus sustainability interactive map, and many other direct outcomes.
Presentations will be in the Undergraduate Science Building, Room 2260:
