"We Could Be the Way Forward": Using Primary Sources to Examine the Creation of a Sustainable University

Florida Gulf Coast University has a significant focus on the environment and sustainability, including requiring students to take a university colloquium course that introduces them to the complexities of developing sustainable societal patterns. This session discusses a flexible, asynchronous activity created by archivists for that university colloquium. The activity uses primary sources to help students better understand their local environment by identifying ecological, economic, and social relationships in the university and the surrounding community.
