This course will help students develop effective communication and public speaking skills in order to support their coursework at CLRI, including delivery and dissemination of their research findings. Throughout the course, students will examine different communication techniques and approaches. They will learn how to adopt different communication strategies based on the intended communication outcomes and the addressed audience.


This course looks at environmental sustainability on three levels: personal, community, and organizational. In this course, students will explore and gain understanding of environmental problems and how they can be addressed at the personal, community and organizational levels, as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies for actions and projects moving forward, i.e., how to be environmentally sustainable. The practical application of the course will result in an environmental impact assessment created by the students relevant to their communities or potential future projects.
