Sustainability Living Learning Community
Through your experiences, you will engage in hands-on activities to understand the complexity of key environmental themes and explore sustainable solutions. You will build a close-knit ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ in Dowling Hall and take part in a course that employs case studies, computer mapping exercises, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ partners and some outdoor field work to actively examine important environmental issues facing humanity today.
What Sustainability LLC students said about their experience:
"My LLC ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ focused on becoming a tight knit group that can respect each other, build each other up in our endeavors, and try to be more aware of our impact on this planet.""Our ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ values sustainability, diverse experiences, inclusion, and experience. We are intentional about hearing everyone's voices. I learned a lot about why each person cares about sustainability."
