21st-century environmental work is personal and political; scientific and poetic; local, regional and global! And maybe most of all: terrifying and hopeful. With a multi-disciplinary team of environmental faculty and staff for teachers, and our southern Appalachian ecoregion for classroom, students deepen their understanding of today’s intersectional environmental problems and solutions, and begin to discern their path through Warren Wilson’s rich environmental programs. Collaborative community service provides a hands-on complement to instruction.
