Environmental Service Learning and Community Partnerships: Applying Science-Based Solutions to Urban Environmental Problems part of Cutting Edge:Geoscience in the Field:Field Experiences:Posters
The IUPUI Center for Earth and Environmental Science utilizes local field research sites and community partners to conduct service learning with introductory earth and environmental science students. Environmental service learning engages introductory students in environmental stewardship activities relevant to course concepts. Strengths: Work day activities further CEES research goals, benefit community partners and public park lands, and relate course topics to ongoing research and community issues.
