Greening Class Overview
Wetlands education and protection project
The Greening the Campus and Community Class (AMST 191b) is a community engaged learning course taught by Prof. Laura Goldin. Students examine the environmental impacts of the Brandeis and Waltham community, and then design and implement projects to address those impacts. The class works closely with the Campus Sustainability Initiative to achieve sustainability success stories. Each group has created web content about their project and/or the topics they are addressing.
