Applied Sustainability Learning
From Classroom to Campus: Experiential Sustainability in Action
Applied sustainability learning is an experiential approach that turns the university campus into a living lab. By connecting academic coursework with campus operations and facilities, students gain real-world experience through research and projects that drive campus engagement and foster community partnerships. This approach builds transdisciplinary teams that make a tangible impact, embedding sustainability into the fabric of the institution. With opportunities for experiential learning and workforce development, students develop practical skills and knowledge that prepare them for careers in sustainability and beyond.
