ENVS 100 2/400 1 - Conversations Toward a Sustainable Future

.25

A combined cornerstone (ENVS 100 2) / capstone (ENVS 400 1) course which affords an opportunity for new Environmental Studies and Environmental Science majors and graduating seniors to substantively engage with each other. Seniors will present work completed while at OWU and reflect on the experiences gained in internships, field study, research and other theory-to-practice opportunities. Seniors will interact with and help guide new students to shape their plans for future work in their majors at OWU. Freshmen will also engage with other E&S faculty, campus staff (B&G, AVI), City of Delaware employees, regional NGOs, and other environmental professionals. Occasional readings on environmental issues will be assigned to stimulate discussion. Freshman E&S majors may choose to live together in the E&S Themed Community residential floor, leading to living-learning opportunities for E&S majors. ENVS 100 2 should be taken with either ENVS 100 1 or BOMI 233 by new majors.
