UTSOA-CRP students:

Below is a message from Corrina Kester on UT�s new membership in the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education - nice work! Especially great news for CRP students interested the intersections of sustainable community development and formal education - including interest in:
school district planning (at least one CRPer has completed an internship with the AISD in recent years),
facilities design and development (an ed. doctoral student recently completed a dissertation on this topic, in partnership with faculty members of the UTSOA)
experiential formal education pedagogical approaches, such as service-learning, where education and community development are combined - including in the schooling of planners.

It looks like you can take a course in Leadership Towards a Sustainable World taught by Corinna during the Fall Semester - or other courses created and taught by students (I think, for credit now, through the Humanities Dept) via UT�s DemTex program - Democratic Education at Texas

Here�s the message from Corinna about the AASHE:
