Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In addition to providing education in the classroom, lecture hall, and laboratory, CLC faculty members use the world around us for direct field study. A variety of biology, geology, history and humanities courses make the Rocky Mountains, Europe, Asia, or Latin America their classrooms. Many of these field study experiences challenge students to consider social, environmental, and economic aspects of sustainability. Instructors also use the prairie, wetlands and lakes for field study on campus.
