A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Natural Science Internship for Sustainability Minor--this has been developed to give students hands on experience of applying principles of sustainability to a problem typically connected to student's major field of study in a community engaged project. For example, a sports management major might work with the Red Claws, our local minor league venue on making its venue more sustainable. The internship will culminate with a final report that describes the social, economic and environmental dimensions of their work.
