As an Honors student in NR 435H, you’ll spend Wednesday mornings in small-group discussion with me and your peers engaging in thoughtful reflection and inspiring conversations about environmental identity, community, and innovative solutions to conservation challenges. We will grapple with questions like, “How do we consume in a way that does justice to the lives we take?” and “How do we live in closer alignment with our personal beliefs and values?” Join us! – Prof. Jen Purrenhage

Note that Honors students also attend NR 435 Section 1 lectures on Tuesdays & Thursdays.
