Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This seminar is for seniors who are minors in the Environmental Studies Program. With the goal to serve as a bridge between the college experience and the next stage of one's career, students fine-tune their critical writing, research, project coordination, facilitation, and public speaking skills. We investigate, actively discuss, and write about contemporary environmental issues and solutions with the aid of weekly reading assignments and the knowledge and experiences each student brings to class. Students also engage in a semester-long research project, collaborating with a campus or community mentor organization to address a specific environmental problem.
