A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive experience(s) offered by the institution:
Wesleyan currently offers a course in perspectives on mountaintop removal, in which students examine this process using historical, geographic, technological, ecological, public health, economic, literary, and artistic lenses. In past years, courses on tropical ecology, the Gulf Coast and oil, and investigating the feasibility of mining methane from a closed local landfill allowed students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the learning process and work within local, national, and international contexts.
