Brown Environmental Leadership Lab BELL in Rhode Island 2012
– Sustainable Development
From across the U.S., select high school students will meet for the first time on the campus of Brown University. For 2-week sessions, students will live at the university’s Haffenreffer estate, a 372-acre historic farm adjacent to Narrangansett Bay. In a program known as BELL or the Brown Environmental Leadership Lab Sustainable Development, students will learn how human demands on the environment often compromise the long-term health of the very ecosystems that keep us alive. They will develop the leadership skills they need to tackle pressing environmental problems in their home communities. Students will also learn about policies, practices and emerging technologies that can help reduce humankind’s ecological impact. Students are mentored by Brown faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students.

June 24–July 6, 2012
