A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage student research in sustainability:
Students are encouraged to engage in independent and collaborative research and creative activity in all disciplines. Support for funding for both students and faculty mentors is available through the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which provides opportunities for summer research, senior projects, and presenting at academic conferences. Although there is no specific incentive for sustainability research, many students have used Mellon Funding to study many different facets of sustainability, from land-use planning and collaboration in the intermountain West to the college's own institutional commitment to sustainability (resulting in the initiation of Gettysburg's participation in the STARS inventory). The Mellon funds are frequently used to support and promote innovative interdisciplinary scholarship.
