The Myra Kraft Open Classroom provides a sustainability-related professional development opportunity for all who are interested. The weekly Open Classroom courses address public policy issues in a regional context and engages the campus community in discussion and learning. The course is advertised to the full NU community and is available free of charge. It brings experts, practitioners, and students together in a regional context of subject matter.
