Praxis course, earning academic credit while gaining the skills to be influential environmental leaders!

Course Brochure (note:2 sides) in Printable PDF Format. 

Whether you’re looking for a topic for your Environmental Studies Senior Seminar, are an extracurricular environmental advocate, or you just want to help make a difference in the world, you can be a part of one of the most exciting projects underway on Bryn Mawr’s campus right now. 

Current students are working in collaboration with alumna expert in the alternative fuels and vehicles fields, Joanna Underwood ’62 (founder and president of Energy Vision), in order to change the dynamics and the infrastructure of our nation’s energy sector.  A student-initiated move to using alternative fuels, notably natural gas, in transportation will change our political landscape and require business and political leaders to rethink their priorities. Our goal: to achieve a 100% sustainable cycle of energy use.

This project requires the involvement of students across many disciplines. Bring your dedication, diligence, and passion for change!
