Laura Goldin's class Greening the Ivory Tower is a great experiential learning class. On campus, the class examines the University’s buildings, grounds, operations and infrastructure -- from energy use and sewage disposal to landscaping and food services -- to identify and analyze the environmental impacts created by the campus population. Students work in groups to conceive, design and implement workable “greening” projects intended to create measurable benefits to the campus and local community, collaborating with Brandeis administration, staff, local officials and others. Toward the end of the fall semester, students presented their project work at the Greening Project Showcase. Students also created Greening Class Project websites residing on the Brandeis University website to serve as a resource to the community.
A student in this class, Yifan Wang, created her final project as a video including all the class projects throughout the semester. Check it out!
Yifan, your video is so great!
