Student Perspective
"The highlight of my major experience was the Sustainable China program. The fall term course explored the intersections between the three C's of sustainability: culture, conservation, and commerce. During that winter break, our group embarked on a 3-week study trip to China, offering a firsthand opportunity to deepen our understanding and engage with the complexities surrounding sustainability in practice."
