Immersion Program: 7-10 day experiences both domestically and abroad. Specifically North Carolin and Appalachia pertain to environmental justice issues. NC relates to fast fashion and a zero waste economic cycle of production. Appalachia is about coal mining, alternative sources of energy and living simply. Optional 1 credit classes are available.
