In this experience, students visit a location as a group or in pairs to experience real-world contexts and perspectives relevant to sustainability problems and solutions. The experience immerses students in a specific place, giving them the opportunity to learn about it firsthand rather than through another medium like documentary or panel presentations and to observe and interact with stakeholders in context.
Example Learning Outcome: Interpersonal Competencies
