Peers and professors will support and challenge each Sustainability Scholar to determine how to incorporate sustainability into their lifestyle, campus, and community. Scholars will participate in program courses and activities throughout their junior and senior years. By networking with others, Scholars will hone leadership, system-thinking, and problem-solving skills.
"This study abroad program exposes you to a wide array of perspectives, cultures, climates, people, food, and experiences, giving you a better understanding of the global system, the diversity of approaches to environmental management, and the varying perspectives and responses to climate change."
