A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive experience(s) offered by the institution:
The Center for Student Leadership and Community Engagement in partnership with the Office of Sustainability and the Intercultural and Diversity Center led an alternative winter break trip to the Louisiana Bayou to complete ecological restoration projects throughout the region. Students learned about the social, economic, and cultural issues facing the Bayou first hand. 2012 was the first year that this trip was offered and it's overwhelming success--both in the Bayou and the change experienced by the students that attended--led it to be renewed for 2013.
