A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:

Engage participants in an active learning process that is student-driven but guided by a faculty mentor
Include community partners and create an impact on the larger community as well as on the student participants
Produce a tangible outcome or product, such as a business plan, policy recommendation, book, play or DVD
Involve at least one team of students, often working on a project that is interdisciplinary in nature
Focus on student learning outcomes
Help students define a career path or make connections to a profession or industry.
