Course-Based Community Engagement through ACE classes
During your time on the Hill you can choose to take ENVST 237: Integration and Application of Environmental Studies. This Academic Civic Engagement (ACE) course covers many aspects of practical environmental conservation and sustainable development, culminating in a final project that often involves the local community beyond campus. Previous students have worked with Prairie Creek Community K-5 School, the Northfield Zero Waste Committee, and others. Learn more about the Academic and Civic Engagement program here.
