The Sustainability Internship Program (SIP) is a multi-year program that starts. Interns research the cultural significance of plants in the garden, gather recipes, and collect stories from family, friends, and neighbors about their environmental friendly practices. Facilities Management, Civil Engineering, the Center for Literacy. Interns also lead tours and host two annual public events that support intercultural engagement to broaden efforts around cultural and environmental sustainability. Therefore, civil engineering internships abroad can expose you to the wonders of existing structures and cities, or present you with the unique opportunity to improve the lives of others. Interns oversee the planting and maintenance of eight satellite gardens on the east side of campus. Civil engineering has a hand in the design of major cities everywhere, from the construction of massive buildings to the design of road systems. The Interns engage in many hands-on, educational activities that help to develop and maintain the garden and sustain their relationships with community partners. The Heritage Garden project frame work uses an assets-based approach that recognizes the range of green practices that people are already doing, builds on cultural values and identity, and links community concerns with environmental issues. This research identified a number of key community concerns and strategies for community involvement in climate action, including gardening and urban agriculture. It builds on research conducted by current LCC director Rosa Cabrera and former AACC director Lori Baptista when they worked at the Field Museum.
The Heritage Garden curriculum is developed and taught by CCUSC directors.
