ALS 4770 - Environmental Stewardship in the Cornell Community

Spring. 2-4 credits, variable. (May be repeated for credit)

B. F. Chabot, D. Roth, S. Riley.

Each student or team of students undertakes an original project to improve the environment at Cornell or in Tompkins County. Often the projects involve working with the Cornell infrastructure (generally campus life and/or facilities). Through class discussions, students learn how to be more effective at developing environmental programs in the future, both during and after college. Students present a final oral report at a public forum to which senior Cornell administrators and others are invited. The final written report is made public.
