Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that is one week or more in length?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Residential students have the opportunity to participate in a year long "Living Green" Living Learning Community. This program is a collaboration between the Center for Service Learning and the Office of Campus Sustainability. Students engage in monthly educational programs/field trips on sustainability topics and are provided additional resources to reduce their environmental impact, such as composting, that are not available to other students.
The center for service learning also offers alternative break trips, many of which are environmentally focused. Students camp in parks across the country and provide services like invasive removal, trash cleanups and other volunteering opportunities. Most recently, they traveled to Ashville, NC to help Greenworks mobilize their community.
