Sustainability Project Lab
This course is a project-based course, meaning you will work in teams with a community or campus partner on a sustainability project with multiple outcomes or goals. A project will be outlined with an assigned community partner working towards sustainability and you will work to produce deliverables that meets the needs of the partner. The project will require you and your peers to utilize the skills you have learned during your time at Cornell. During this process you will learn about sustainability in action, project planning and management, and practicing the ‘soft skills’ that will help you navigate life after graduation. Most importantly you will gain experience working in teams to deliver real-world project results to partners– this can be research, practice, or a combination.
