Cape Fear River Basin Studies Program

The Cape Fear River Basin Studies Program is an opportunity for students to engage in interdisciplinary, place-based education. This program defines “place” by the shared waters and land of the Cape Fear River Basin. Unlike boundaries created by humans, defining place by watersheds emphasizes our shared place, connections and dependence on one another. This approach allows students to learn from those working both within and outside their field of study while they develop a practice of seeking deep understanding of and engagement with their place.
