A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Office of Student Engagement in partnership with the UB Sustainability office has led an alternative winter break trip since to 2012 to the Louisiana Bayou to complete ecological restoration projects throughout the region. Students learned about the social, economic, and cultural issues facing the Bayou first hand. The trip has been considered an overwhelming success--both in the Bayou and the change experienced by the students that attended--has resulted in an expansion of the program to include a second sustainability focused alternative winter break trip to Monteverde, Costa Rica in January 2016.
