Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that is one week or more in length?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Climate Action Capacity Project: Through a generous donation from the Erol Foundation , the Climate Action Capacity Project (CACP) launched in fall 2020 and seeks to both support the vital work being done and explore ways to pilot new opportunities to drive real impact. The mission is to provide all Middlebury College students with the knowledge, motivation, and capacity needed to be effective and transformative leaders on climate change across backgrounds, disciplines, and career paths. While the first year of the CACP will involve a great deal of experimentation, concrete focus areas include the following: a yearlong paid fellowship program; speaker events, trainings, and skill shares; working closely across departments, school units, and student groups; developing enhanced connections between alumni and students (and the school); and pursuing ways to tangibly explore climate change from various lenses in the curriculum.
