The Sustainability Capstone is the culminating experience for students in the Sustainability Dual Major (SDM). The overall format of the course is to: 1) synthesize learning from other core and elective courses taken for the SDM and 2) work in groups to apply knowledge to a community-based, action-research project that addresses a specific sustainability issue at UNH or in the broader community. All groups present their work at UNH?s Undergraduate Research Conference, submit a research paper, and complete other deliverables as needed to meet their project goals. Students will develop competence in community-based action-research methodologies and professional skills in facilitative leadership, collaborative project management and writing, community engagement, and equity assessments. Students will also create an online professional portfolio that highlights their sustainability experience and perspectives.
