URI101All freshmen in the College of the Environment and Life Science participate in a community service learning project directly related to sustainability and their prospective majors. For example, aquaculture students seeded scallops in nearby salt ponds to ameliorate the effects of the North Cape oil spill. Geology students calculated the velocity and tested the water quality of nearby streams in a threatened watershed. Landscape Architecture students helped improve a brook and pond on campus, creating a community gathering place. Another group is initiating a community bike program on campus.
