A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Immersive Experience (CPGC) - 2014
Each year, Haverford College sponsors student participation in immersive experiences with a sustainability focus through its Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) (www.haverford.edu/cpgc). The following is a brief summary of these experiences. Details are provided in the attached document.
In 2011-2012, the CPGC sponsored three short-term academic programs with a sustainability focus. Each program involved student participation in either an off-campus conference or a field research project. In addition, the Center sponsored six 10-week summer internships with a sustainability focus. In an example of an academic program, a Haverford student traveled to Ottawa, Ontario, to conduct interviews with and collect data from organizations involved with the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement.
In 2012-2013, the CPGC sponsored a group project that examined the effect of mountain-top-removal coal mining in Appalachia. In addition, 11 students were sponsored for sustainability-oriented summer internships, all ten weeks in length. Among the summer internships funded was one featuring a solar energy education program in Benin, West Africa; an heirloom seed project in Waldoboro, ME; and an urban farm recovery project in Brooklyn, NY.
