A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
A summer 3-week course, taught by our faculty in conjunction with Ehime University located in Matsuyama, Japan. The immersion into sustainability is relevant in many ways. Beginning with hand-outs and several hours of lecture, students are immersed into the recycling practices needed to live in Japan. Students are placed into group housing and home-stay situations for the initial two weeks where these practices must be met and fully adhered to for the duration of the trip . As we enter year three, additional educational focus will also be placed on organic rice production and land use, development of local products and sustainable fisheries. During the trip, the historical and contemporary use and development of green spaces is investigated, as is the relationship of urban space on a compact growing economy.
