In this multidisciplinary applied course, students work with each other and with community partners to advance environmental protection, stewardship, and restoration efforts in the Swannanoa River Watershed. Class projects are scoped with Warren Wilson's commitment to equity, justice, and sustainability in mind; we support ongoing community efforts and intentionally integrate environmental and social justice objectives. Instruction in science, policy, research, writing, and other skills is organized through local case studies and tailored to support class projects. Students are assessed on quality of participation in project work, several research and writing assignments, and final project presentation and report. GE: Community Engagement course. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing; ENS 1200 Everybody’s Environment! People, Place, and Planet.
