Congratulations to Patrice Hamel, whose grant entitled "Experiential Learning in Sustainability: An International Perspective (ELSIP)" was recently funded by ENGIE via the Office of Academic Affairs.
This project will to instill and support a culture of sustainability by offering a beyond-the-classroom educational experience to participants interested in contributing to sustainability efforts on a global scale. In collaboration with a France-based expert in decarbonized economy, a group of four selected students will collect US-based carbon emission data in transport, food and agriculture, housing, goods, and services to build a US-relevant interactive workshop to support the transition to a low-carbon society. Another group of five selected students will be individually placed in sustainability-focused companies that have emerged from the ecological transition to a carbon-neutral economy or companies that are undergoing transformation to adopt sustainable business practices.
