Experiential education is more than a trendy buzz word for us in the College of the Environment. When students learn through direct experience they gain not only knowledge and skills, but also a deeper understanding of how to apply those skills in a real world context.
The fact that we strive to provide students with a broad range of experiential opportunities—on campus, in the field, and in various professional settings—is part of what makes us special. It’s part of the College’s signature.
Awards & Acknowledgements from this quarter include Dennis L. Hartmann’s election into the National Academy of Sciences, the Climate Change Video Contest winners, and the naming of the College’s 2016-2017 scholarship recipients, and much more!
Five students from the College of the Environment—Laurel J. James, Leah Litwak, Sierra Kross, Brian Tracey, and Linnea McCann—have been selected as members of the inaugural class of the Husky 100. This new award recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students from across the three University of Washington campuses who are making the most of their time as members of the UW community, and making a difference inside and outside of the classroom.
