Integrative Seminar in Environmental Studies
Spring 2008, O'Donnell
Overview
For this course, you will spend 20-30 hours engaged in a
service activity or project related to your area of interest within
environmental studies. You will work
with me to arrange your placement with an institution or group, or to design
and plan your independent project.
Your activity or project will define your focus for this
seminar and will thus be related to the subtitle of the syllabus that you
design.
