Through simulations, guest speakers, group workshops, and discussions, students develop the analytical and problem-solving skills needed to evaluate and critique solutions for “planet, people, and prosperity”. This course empowers students with the interdisciplinary knowledge and communication tools needed to become sustainability leaders in their communities and careers.
