ROOT is a collaboration between the Davis Center (formerly the Multicultural Center) and the Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives. This first-year orientation program encourages participants to explore and affirm identities in light of social justice and sustainability. It goes beyond a normal sustainability-related orientation experience in the way that it interrogates the overlap between environmental and social sustainability.
ROOT leaders guide first-year students in exploring the intersections of sustainability, identity, diversity, and inclusion through activities, discussions, and travel experiences in the immediate area.
