Workshop
The capstone course brings together the knowledge and theories that students have gained in the classroom and provides them with the opportunity to work with outside clients, collaboratively crafting practical solutions to critical problems. Students are required to take this course in their senior year and have worked on projects that include: collecting data on rainfall runoff to explore options for property owners to decrease the volume of storm water run-off with the Natural Resources Defense Council; creating an course curriculum on climate change for the Urban Park Rangers to promote the Natural Classroom program in New York City; and helping the Population Council to expand their research scope to include events related to climate change flooding, and more specifically the impact of flooding on women in Bangladesh. Additional clients include the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability, Nature Conservancy, NYC Park Rangers Program and New Canaan Nature Preserve.
