Abstract

The Environment Corps (E-Corps) program emerged out of our goal to reciprocally serve undergraduate students and communities as they engage with faculty across E-Corps courses in collaborative environmental sustainability pursuits. Currently, the three E-Corps courses focus on brownfields, stormwater, and climate. The E-Corps program is a unique two semester sequence of coursework anchored in high leverage practices (HLPs) that we have collaboratively developed and worked to refine over the last several years. In this article, we describe the E-Corps program, our HLPs, and how these HLPs are used across the three courses.

Acknowledgments

Several private sector and foundation funders have also provided support to early efforts that contributed to the formation of the E-Corps. The authors would also like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the many members of the E-Corps instructional, research, evaluation, and integration teams.
