EVPP 480 - Sustainability in ActionCredits: 4
In the wake of global concerns about environmental change, the issue of attaining sustainability has become internationally important. To attain sustainability requires action at environmental, social, and economic levels. To provide students with valuable and tangible experience in practical aspects of realizing sustainability goals and to transfer theory into practice, this course allows students to engage in real-world, sustainability-related projects that provide benefits for a target community. Working in interdisciplinary teams, students will identify and attempt to solve a sustainability-related problem or address a sustainability-related need in a specific target community. Priority will be given to sustainability projects on the Mason campus or the local community. However, options for other relevant projects will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
