<p>The Center for Community Engagement and the Environmental Studies Department at Amherst College are excited to announce a new interterm course, <b>Environmental Leadership in the 21st Century. </b>The course will run from January 5th - January 19th and is open to all Five College students. It will take place at Amherst College.<br>
</p><p>Environmental Leadership in the 21st Century will provide Five College students with the theoretical knowledge and skills they need to become effective environmental leaders. Over two and half weeks, we will examine several contemporary local and global environmental issues in depth. We will also explore the various methods of translating this knowledge into real-world environmental activism.</p>
The course will feature visits from Gus Speth and Sylvia Hood Washington, as well as organizers from all around the country. We will discuss major environmental issues including climate change, water, pollution, and toxics. These discussions will be coupled with trainings on the skills required to be an effective environmental activist.<br>
