A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive experience(s) offered by the institution:
In addition to the Unity College Environmental Stewardship Core curriculum (four-course series outlined below), Unity College students in recent years have participated in sustainability-focused immersive study abroad including service trips with Sustainable Harvest International to Nicaragua in 2009 (http://www.unity.edu/NewsEvents/News/SHI09.aspx) and the Center for Alternative Technologies in Wales in 2010 (http://www.unity.edu/facultypages/womersley/es4501.htm).
Unity College has four core classes that provide students with an immersive sustainability experience. Incoming class students will learn environmental stewardship in the Unity Experience class; The environmental Citizen class will allow students to work hand in hand with the community in a sustainable topic such as recycling in local schools of building a cellar. The Environmental Sustainability Class will allow students to incorporate critical thinking about current global problems such as water scarcity and rising temperatures. In the Environmental Challenge course, students spend the semester listening to environmental speakers and working on a service project that will benefit the wider community.
