4th Annual Leadership in Sustainability Seminar

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:00:00 +0000

Student Support Services (SSS) is offering an exciting Leadership in Sustainability Seminar during the week of August 1-7 to be held at Pigeon Lake Field Station near Cable, Wisconsin - located on 50 acres in the beautiful Chequamegon National Forest.

Students will be "camping" (in rustic cabins) while earning 1 credit in Biology and 1 credit in First Nations studies.

Both courses are geared toward learning about our human impact on the environment and how that relates to sustainability in the Superior area; an both courses will be presented ia a hands-on experiential style, using the lake and surrounding area as a classroom.

Only SSS participants are able to attend. However, those who attend will do so at almost no cost. The entire experience will be free except for a $50 down-payment which will pay for all your books, lab fees, etc. The university will be waiving the tuition, and SSS will be paying for room, board, meals, and so forth.

If you are interested in attending this seminar and are not sure if you qualify, please feel free to contact Jess McCullough in Student Support Services. His office is located in Old Main 118, and he can be reached by phone at 394-8090 or by email at jmccullo@uwsuper.edu
