Yes
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Summer Institute on Sustainability and Energy (SISE) is a summer intensive workshop that focuses on current topics in energy, sustainable energy, and sustainability. Participants converge at the University of Illinois at Chicago where they live and work together in a tight-knit, diverse community of energy-minded students and professionals. The SISE experience affords participants time and resources to explore pressing energy topics in an immersive environment. These future energy leaders are educated to make decisions about energy at the personal, civic, and global levels, in energy related fields including science, technology, entrepreneurship, economics, policy, planning, and behavior.
The program itself convenes for two-weeks and lasts on average eight-hours a day, including some weekend activities. The program is divided into two parts, SISE intensives and the SISE core program. The former prepares participants to more fully engage with the latter.
