We encourage students to deepen and broaden their interests by investigating the environmental, social, and political challenges of living in the Rocky Mountain West. Students embark on inter-disciplinary research around the region to discover the possibilities for, offer solutions to, and take action toward balancing human activity without further spoiling the natural environment.
