On January 15, 2012, a group of 11 students and 2 faculty begin an educational adventure focused on a theme of "sustainability through community" in three countries in Central America (Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica). During the semester program, students will:
* Immerse themselves in other cultures
* Learn how sustainability is achievable through community
* Learn how sustainability is achievable through community
* Learn through service to others
* Wrok with inspiring community sustainability organizations and individuals
* Receive 15 college credits while integrating theory with real-life applications
* Take a leadership role in sustainability once they return home.
Who are we?
The Center for Ecological Living and Learning (CELL) offers unique sustainability education programs for students who believe that they can make a difference in the world: students who would like to play an active role in creating long-term solutions to problems facing our local and global communities and environment. During the course of a semester program, students learn about the concepts of sustainability while living in home stays with village families and learning from internationally recognized partners who are modeling how a “small group of committed people” can make a big difference in achieving local and global sustainability. At the end of a CELL program, students develop action plans that empower them to return home and employ what they have learned in their own lives and through implementing sustainability initiatives in their own communities. This individual and collective action is at the heart of what CELL is all about!
