2015: Chile Sustainability Travel Course – Students were exposed to a number of academic lectures, enginKaters_Chileeering and technology field trips, and cultural experiences. The course was comprised of students from UW-Green Bay and other universities across the country. It was led by myself and Dr. Alex Godoy from the Universidad del Desarrollo in Santiago. My work with Alex has led to a very strong partnership between UW-Green Bay and the Universidad del Desarrollo. As a result, a number of faculty members have collaborated on efforts between both universities. For more information, please visit Alex’s iSustainabilityLab website.
